Alien Creatures
Special thanks to Mercedes for this post.... This morning I went into the living room and something small and furry, but no tail, scurried across the floor and under the chair. It didn't move like a mouse either but if it was a bug, it was the biggest bug I had ever seen. Of course I screamed. Rand came running and when he checked it out, he didn't know what it was but suspected a spider (he was wise enough not to mention this though). He decided to get a glass to put over it and then figure out what to do next. I was worried we had some mutant, diseased mouse running around. Well, he moves the chair to catch it and exclaims: "It's Mr. Crabs!" We have a crab in our fish tank, a pretty big one, it looks kind of like a mini-lobster (our best educated guess is that he is a red claw crab). Apparently he escaped from the tank, as Rand had been worrying for months he would do, was covered in fuzz and dust (hence the furry look) and was scuttling around my living room. Glad to say, Mr. Crabs has been returned to the tank and I am so glad Rand was home to deal with it! That was enough excitement for one day for sure!!! UPDATE!!! Tuesday night, Crabs strikes again! Rand and I are sitting on the couch talking when all of a sudden something furry comes scuttling across the floor. I shriek, because you can't get over the gut reaction but it's a short shriek and then I announce Mr. Crabs is out again. This time we got pictures and video of our escape artist. He looks much more spidery this time than last time, not quite as furry. Clumsy crab / by Ruth Galloway.
