Hermit Crab

Chace has always been sort-of not-really interested in pets.  As a toddler,  he was much more interested in the toys the zoo animals had in their cages than the animals themselves! (Look at the tiger Chace!  His reply -A Ball, A Ball!).  Alana, on the other hand, loves animals.  She is always pulling out the hermit crab to look  at.  Chace won't have anything to do with his hermit crab after it pinched him (it may not have actually pinched him, its just has sharp little claws).  He felt betrayed because he thinks it doesn't love him anymore.  Alana isn't brave enough to hold the hermit crab yet, but she's working up to it.  Here she is pointing to the crab after she's filled his water bowl with sand (and dumped the rest of the sand all over the carpet after I vacuumed).  She also feeds the fish in the morning,  makes sure I feed the dragon his crickets, and loves to give Tony treats.   She keeps her distance from Lolly though.  We had a fun day at the pet store last week looking at all the animals.
