names, and too many critters

As of now, the babies are Mistletoe, Latke, Candy Cane, and Winter.  Winners can pick up their pigs in a couple of months.

And now we have 3 hermit crabs as well.  A neighbor girl had one and decided it was too much hassle so I said I'd take it.  And then I read about hermit crabs and discovered they're really very social.  So I went to the pet shop (damn, are their hermit crab rescues?  I didn't even check) and handed them my wallet and walked out with two wee crabs and a big pile of crap.

Crabitat:


And meet Solstice (named by Julianna), Sunny (named by Lily), and Sharkey (guess)


Sharkey was the original crab.  He's big and looks just like Mr. Krabbs from Spongebob, so *I* wanted to name him Eugene (what, you didn't know Mr.Krabbs' first name?  loser.), but nooooo.

Call me Dr. Doolittle.  Well, I never finished the Doctoral program, so we'll go with Master Doolittle.

  3. Maybe you need one (just one) more crab so you can name one.
