HCA aided Adoption: Success!!

Post by Dukkie » Sun Mar 18, 2018 6:50 pm

Last weekend a person in my city pmed me. She had a hermie that needed a new home. :cheer:

I brought her home. :clap: My DD was not interested in getting another hermie because we lost Oona after streaking and she is tired of feeding and watering "pet-sand". However she is really enjoying having Bernadette join the hermie tank because Bernadette is so active.

When DD was 5yo she really wanted a hermit crab, :roll: so I took her to library and we got books on how to take care of them. :shock: She changed her mind real quick. Thank heaven. :D

Then on DDs 11th birthday a friend gave her a hermit crab :crabbigsmile: in a critter cage with pink "sand". :evil: Surprise!! worst gift ever, although well meant from a little girl who is quite innocent to what she has done. never give a living gift unless you know...
