To TheCozyFeathers: You kill me!! I always die reading your posts, you are so funny!! :lol: :hlol: :lol: :hlol: I feel like you are half hermit crab and that is how you have such accurate translations :lol:

Now to my funny stories:
This one is more cute that funny, but Big Bill and Little Bill are inseparable!! I swear they are never apart!! Big Bill is very protective of Little Bill and will always sit near him!! I love it! :hug:

Sometimes my crabs don't think before they act. Big bill does this a lot, I will remove the lid to spray the tank, and he will be climbing on his log, and the shadow will come across him and the next thing I hear is CLANK. He tucks into his shell before he realizes he is hanging on to the log. Its amazing he hasn't hurt himself!! In general, he is a very klutzy crab! :hlol:

Big Bill and Little Bill...I love it X3 So cute when hermit crabs care about each other.

I'm glad you enjoy the posts. I have a quirky sense of humor which is what I guess attracts me to the quirky hermit crab. I'll try to add in some more humor where I can. Hermit crabs are really funny creatures :)

I just went downstairs and found this. ImageHe saw me coming and started to go back in his shell. He realized he couldn't without letting go. I finally get all the way to him and he was just hanging there like "what? So I like to dangle."

Big Bill wouldn't have been smart enough to realize he would fall, and there would just be a loud CLANK. :hlol:

I got chirped at after finding him like that. I think I might have just been sworn at by a hermit crab. Lol

It kind of makes sense that hermit crabs would have the vocabulary of a sailor.

Dean and Cas are ADORABLE! They're such a pretty shade of purple!
Please adopt one more GIANT viola and name it Sam, then get an E and name it Crowley.
I can just hear the stories!

"So, today Sam pushed Crowley into the salt water pool, it was totally accidental, I'm told, Dean and Cas are still deep in their investigation."
