Introducing the newest addition to our family…..Buttercup the hermit crab. Don’t you just love her pink shell?
I really had no intention of buying or bringing home any critters from the beach but after receiving some very upsetting news on our first day of vacation I caved and let Emily get a hermit crab. We found out Monday morning that our cat, Jasper, who I have had for over 13 years passed away. Our first day of vacation was filled with lots of crying.
I’m thankful and upset that he passed away while we were gone. Thankful that the kids did not find him curled up on the bathroom rug ~ upset that I didn’t get to say goodbye!

I'm sad to hear about Jasper. We just got our son a Hermit Crab, too.
I have had my cat for 15 years, and am hoping that I both get to say goodbye when the time comes as well as have the kids not see the event. So sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry about your cat. That is hard. I do want to tell you though that you should research the care a hermit crab truly needs. It is a lot more than any of these places tell you.
okay buttercup is super cute! Sorry to hear about your kitty! Losing a bet is tough.. specially since you had him for so long! (((HUGS)))
Aww, im so sorry about your cat :(
I am so sorry about your cat :( Our furry family members are often the most wonderful kind. Your Hermit Crabs shell is pretty though.
Oh! I am so very sorry to hear about your cat. The same thing happened to us on our honeymoon. Our 13 year old cat also passed while my Mom was catsitting. I like to think that our special furry family members leave while we are gone to spare us in a way. We can always remember them full of life. I know how tough this is on you and your family. Again, very sorry!
Oh, I am SO SORRY to hear about Jasper! I hope the hermit crab eases the pain of such a loss... :0(
That's too bad about Jasper. I'm so sorry! I remember when we lost a beloved dog when I was young. Everyone in the family - my dad included - cried. Pets can be so special.
I've just featured you in a post at Teaching Two regarding your Ocean activities.
Here's a Featured Button if you'd like to put it on your blog.
So sorry about Jasper! I realize a hamster may not be quite the same as a cat, but when our Speedy died I was the most emotional.
Hope things go well with Buttercup, I've always wanted a hermit crab
I am so sorry about Jasper. I lost my Boru (14) last week.
I think the Buttercup's pink shell is snazzy!
