Snicker Saturday...Freaky Foodables






Hey Everyone!
Wow, this is a weird Snicker for today fur sure!    So, my peeps left me for about 87 hours this morning.   They said they would be back soon, but that's always a fib.   They were gone furever and when they got back I could tell why.   They went clear to China again to eat...without me.   PTTHTHHTHTH.

Well, usually when they go there I get some foodables that they sneak out of the place.  BOL  So, when they got home smelling like China I was totally excited!   Gimme Gimme Gimme   I want stolen foodables!  

Dad grabbed a bundle from the table and handed it over to me....  Hold onto yourselves... it looked like this:





YIKES!     Oh My DAAAWWWGGG     What the %&$#!$ is that?!?!     Are those aliens?!?!? 


Nooooooo!     That can't possible be foodables!     I thought I'd pass out fur sure.



Well, Mom let out a yell.   "That's for my Crabby Girls!"  



Yup, Dad nearly gave me the snackers Mom stole for Beachnut, Oceana and Shelldon.   To clear up my baffled mystery, that's a squid tentacle and a shrimp.    HOLY MOLY!   I can't believe they eat that stuff.    YUCK AND BLECH        Well, they'll be thrilled because Mom swears they love that stuff.   Okay, whatever.   I'm over my shock...so HAND OVER MY SNACKERS!




Now, that's more like it.   Sausage roll and chicken wrapped in bacon.   SLURP AND DROOL    That's much better and all is forgiven.





Thanks, Dad, but next time lets avoid the near heart attack.   BOL   Crazy crabby girls and their exotic seafood cuisine.    BWAR HAR HAR

Hope you got a chuckle out of this story and that you get some fun foodables today too.

Lucky Pooch








Hey Everyone!
Wow, I am just about the luckiest pooch on the planet today!    WHY?!?     Well, because Yente Ruby found a most wonderful date for me to escort to the Heart 2 Heart Dance.

I am so honored and thrilled to say that the lovely Cinderella will be my date for the big dance!   Isn't that great news?!?    I couldn't be happier and I see why Yente Ruby is so excellent at her job.

I'll be working now to find the bestest outfit to wear for her and practicing my dance steps because I want to show Cinderella the bestest date ever.  


See all of you at the Dance!   Don't forget to get your pix sent in to Murphy and Stanley asap.

Snicker Saturday...Super Bowl Ads







Hey Everyone!
Wow, it's almost time for the big Superbowl football game!   Now, since the Steelers are outa the running, I'm not really following the action.   However, we always have the game on to watch the commercials.  BWAR HAR HAR    They are sometimes the bestest ones of the whole year.

For your Snicker Saturday chuckle today, here are three of the very favorite past commercials as picked by my Mom:











Hope you enjoyed these and got a good laugh out of them!

Flashback Friday .... Remember Hono Roo Roo?






Hey Everyone!
Wow, here's another look back to an event from our Blogville past!   How many of you remember our July 4th Hono Roo Roo Luau parties?    I sure do.   We had them a couple of years in a row, hosted by Feisty Three.    Oh, they were such fun!

A VERY SPECIAL CRABBY MONDAY...Shell Change









Hello, Blogville Darlings!    Shelldon here with a very special post to share with you today.    If you have followed us for awhile now, you have probably caught onto the fact that we Crabby Girls occasionally change our shells.   Yes, we most definitely do!   Teeheehee

This is a really important part of our lives.  You see, we continue to grow throughout our lifetimes and as we grow, we sometimes molt.   That means we shed our hard outer layer when it becomes too tight or small.  Underneath, we are all new and fresh...and bigger.   Often, we grow and molt and grow and molt enough that our shell becomes too small for us and we must find a new one.

That's the special part!

You may also have heard from previous posts that we girls are typically nocturnal.  That means we prefer to come out and about in our crabitat at night.    So, getting to see one of us changing shells is a really rare and unique event.    Usually it's dark and The Hands are sleeping.

Well, the other day, I was feeling very brave and thought I'd let The Hands observe while I change shells.    I even let them take a video of the action so we could show it to all of you today.   Here it is, my friends:   (Please forgive the noise in the background, The Hands were watching the news and no one wanted to move to turn it off.  POL   Any movement might have scared me away.)




First, I have to find the perfect shell to suit my size and taste!   I do this by rubbing my long and lovely leggies all over it and around inside it and even poking my head down inside.   I have to check it all over to be sure it's just right.   Then I line up the opening of my shell with the opening of my new one so that it's easier to make the move.

See, we are extremely vulnerable when we change!    Our bodies are really very soft and fragile which is why we need a shell.  It protects our soft part.   So, when we switch, we need to do this fast and efficiently so we are not at risk any longer than necessary.    Did you see how fast I made the move?   Could you tell how soft my body is before I tucked it into my new shell?


Here is a little video of me re-adjusting myself after my quick change:::



And just like that, I'm all situated in my new home!

Thanks for coming along on this little journey with me.   We shared a special moment together today, my friends.   We hardly ever let anyone see this happen.

Ciao and Little Pinches,
Shelldon

Stella Rose       Oh, look at those cute red hearts!    I'm sure Madi will love this box and have some fun playing inside it later on.    Great choice for her!










Taffy      Looks like Taffy is trying to chew on this box, or maybe she's getting read to tape it shut.    BOL/MOL      This is so great and we are so glad you could join us for the party today!







Toby      Check out this great boxing technique!    Purrfect for a box that's a little snug.    BWAR HAR HAR    Madi will want to try this one out too.
