Other things that went wrong last week

[lokheed]

• My mom had to put her cat Louie to sleep last friday.  He was 18, and he was just plain ready to go.  Not entirely unexpected, but still sad.


• Ichi died while we were out of town.  San is still molting and MIA.  It's been over five weeks since he buried himself to molt, and I understand that for  a crab his size it can take as long as 4-6 weeks.  I am officially worried about him.  Also last week, Ni dug in for a molt.  I am worried about him too.

On the bright side, all of the other pets survived the week just fine.

**LATE UPDATE**
Not ten minutes after posting this, I heard some scritching coming from the crabitat. Ni resurfaced, having apparently had a very fast molt.

**EVEN LATER UPDATE**
My counting skills suck. Kris pointed out to me that my original post about the crabs was on May 23rd, which means I we have only had them for five weeks and two days. Given that San did not dig in for his molt until we had had him for a few weeks, it has really only been about three weeks since he began. This means that I can't be officially worred for at least another 2-3 weeks. I can use that time to brush up on my math skills.

My deepest condolences on the loss of Louie, and here's hoping that he is raising Hell with Qu'Appelle in the Great Feline Beyond.

aw, shoot
