Hello, Blogville Darlings. It's me, your Beachnut girl, here to visit with you today.
It seems our splendid Shelldon has been buried for 87 years, but really it has been about 3 months now. Goodness, I must admit that I am a tad concerned for her, but we cannot disturb her now. She most assuredly buried in order to molt and a hermit crab busy molting should always be given her privacy. Teeheehee I know that The Hands are certainly concerned for her, but crabs our size sometimes take up to two months for the entire process. Our Shelldon had a ginormous molting bubble that we all saw when she changed shells just before burying. The molting bubble is a sack of loose skin that stores nutrients and water for us so that we have everything we need while we are buried for our molt. My, aren't we fabulous and fascinating ladies?!? POL So, we must figure that our Shelldon is simply enjoying her alone-time and will emerge when she is ready to premier her newly freshened up self.
Meanwhile, I've had our trendy crabitat all to myself. Oh, I've had great crabby girl fun wandering around and enjoying our hidey holes, our loft and all of the gourmet foodables. Teeheehee
So, that's a little peek at life in the crabitat here at Sarge's house!
Speaking of Sarge, he whispered to me that he now has 25 entries in his upcoming Cattle STAMPede for the Blogville Rodeo! Goodness that's so very fabulous and we crabby girls are ready too.
The deadline to enter your cattle brand request is midnight on July 1st. Please surf back to his older posts for information and all sorts of hints and symbols and lettering ideas to help you design your own exclusive brand.
Until next week,
Ciao and Little Pinches,
Beachnut (and Shelldon)
I hope Sheldon will come out soon. That coconut tent is very nice!

I had a sack of stored nutrients and water butts the peeps called it a fat belly and put me on a diet!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing Shelldon in her new outfit...I wonder what sort of fashion statement she'll make? Had she been studying the pantone colour charts?
Loves and licky kisses

We hope Shelldon is okay. We'd probably be digging her up to see. Hopefully, she'll be up soon to enjoy that wonder Crabitat with you.
ReplyDeleteWe know you are in good hands with the Hands! Two months to molt, gee that is a long time. We hope everyone is okay!
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
So Shelldon is taking her sweet time premiering the new improved Shelldon huh? Gosh Beachnut, you should have held a lottery for us all to guess "WHEN WILL SHELLDON APPEAR?".......HAHAHA.....I say it will be in 8 more days. So there.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sammy
I do so hope Shelldon comes out of his moody molting phase so you can enjoy the Rodeo together. Perhaps the fireworks on the 4th of July will wake her.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a friend
Sweet William The Scot
Oh boy...hope Sheldon comes out before the rodeo! Maybe she's just waiting for the big event to debut her new glamerous self?
ReplyDeleteSure hope that Sheldon comes out soon
