Did i ever tell you about my kitten; she was a gray tabby. Technically she was my sisters cat but since my sister took my orange tabby; it was only fair that the grey one bonded with me. Well after a while my sister took her with her when she went to college but when i visited my sister the kitty knew who her friend was and promptly jumped into my lap and purr herself to sleep. Alas after 23 years she passed but she was the most wonderful kitty in the whole wide world. She used to follow me on 5 mile hikes when i would take my puppy on a small walk. After a few miles she would jump out of nowhere grab my puppy tail and take off
-
I'd post a picture of her and i could put a date thingy on the picture i'm photography but alas taking a real picture of her would involve flying out to my sister finding her grave and digging her up. Kind of gross not to mention she would be mostly a skeleton now. But she was the most wonderful kitty in the whole wide world.

If there is one pet i miss it was the grey tabby i had many years ago.

Oh and as a bonus she used to bring live chipmonk home for my sister but that is another story.

Your handwritten note only needs to be present in one photo.

Let's start first with an entry...
Overhere one of my three white arm manderin vampire crabs. All three are almost the same size. The biggest is also the most dominant one in my paludarium. But they're all at adult size. I've seen them a bit smaller elsewhere. So apparently, they had a good home at my friend's place or those I've seen before had a less good home. But those were at a store. And we do know that not always will pets be fed the way they should be fed at stores. Those wild guppies I had in there were already moved to another tank because the population exceeded. A friend of mine decided to live together with his gf but she hates pets. So, he asked me if I would like to adopt them for he knew I've kept vampire crabs before. With the empty paludarium I was able to rehome them. And I was actually planning to get some Asian mudskippers again. But I couldn't resist there critters either...
They do have their own steady spot in the paludarium but during the day they do wander around. I haven't seen any aggression between them yet. And I do have to admit that I just have them for a month ago. But thusfar, they thrive well in there. All three of them are used to the hand.
I only picked one of those three to enter the competition. For I didn't have a specific preference for one of them.
