For those of you that have kept up with the adventures - a little while ago I did a post that involved some new crab additions to our family. Well about a week before Christmas Hunter and I went to go clean out the cage and all four of the crabs were dead. I'm not sure what happened to them. Dave seems to think that it just got too cold in Hunter's room for them. Hunter was a tad bit sad, but he wasn't "crushed" which was good.
There is a funny side to this. One of Hunter's crabs had the name Josh. He named all of his crabs after his friends. The day that Josh and the other crabs had died - Dave was pulling into the garage after work and Hunter wanted to tell daddy right away that the crabs had died. So as Dave is getting out of his truck, Hunter yells, "Daddy, Josh is dead!" Picture this in your head - Dave is thinking that Hunter is talking about his human friend Josh and not the crab. So I don't think I have ever seen Dave so shocked and panicky before I told him it was the crab not the friend! So, there is a new rule in our house - no more animals can be named after any of the kids' friends. Hee Hee!

I remember this story and can't IMAGINE how horrified Dave had to have been. So glad it was just those mangy crabs. :)
