she is just not having a good year is she? hope she well be ok, I know how hard it can be, what about the kitten though? is he ok?

[Stormymystic]

on a brighter note....I did find a very good use for this wrist brace I do not have to fight so hard for room on my side of the bed at night, if he tries to push me out, I just roll over, and accidently hit him upside the head [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] I am bad.. I know it

lightning has been beat up by some weiner dogs, we decided to bring her home. the rental people have never been in here and don't even enforce no outdoor cats on our neighbors.

i'm going to send nathan to work on tuesday with pics of my kitty to scan so i can set him up a web page. t.c. had one sorta, but i never could finish it and now most of his pics are gone. but dexter will have a proper internet memorial. i miss him so much!

please if you're going to get a pet adopt from your local humane society. we got dex from one here in pa.

Good afternoon, all. Pretty day, here. Galadria's Aunt Kate died today, age 91. Rest in peace. I have been over a the Bioware site, drooling over DragonAge. Reminds me of the wait for Neverwinter Nights.

[Cloudbringer]

So sorry to hear about Galadria's aunt! May she rest in peace.

Hey Bungleau

My Son got his first ever 'real' pet last week for his birthday. Someone bought him a hermit crab. He calls it Herbie We are finding out the best way to keep him happy so if you have any tips let us know. Enjoy your holiday!

Well...taking care of kids is not something I'm genuinely prepared to do...I've heard the words "uncle Lyle" SOOOOOOOOO many times the last three days, and I'm babysitting again tomorrow...All the parents on this forum have my utmost of respect!

[Bungleau]

Peace to Galadria, Piestrider, you, and the rest of the family, Attalus. It's never easy, even if it's expected.

And Wellard, I've gotta warn you... Hermies are social critters, so you should anticipate that Herbie's going to get a roomie in the future... fortunately, they're not expensive. Their equipment, however... let's just say that you save a lot by not having a pet [img]smile.gif[/img]

They like to climb and crawl around. Make sure Herbie's got lots of shells to choose from (at least 4-6, different sizes and shapes). Humidity is also important, as is temperature; they need it warm and humid (min 70F and 80%).

They also can't handle chlorinated water, so you'll need to make up some non-chlorinated stuff. We keep it in a spray bottle and use it to mist the tank (keeping humidity up) as well as refilling the water dish.

We're on a couple of Yahoo groups (hermit-crabs101, and another we just joined that escapes me). Lots of folks are into it, and some are really nuts (20-30 hermies in their households).

Let me know if you've got questions. I'll answer what I can, with my four months of hermie experience

I almost bought some..but why pay for what you can catch at the ocean? I used to have a few that I threw back into the water, did not know you could keep them as pets at the time [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] my kids want one, but I will not get it for them yet, perhaps in a few years, but I want to get me some more fish before I get a crab
