Default Anybody lose a pet crab?
Imagine my surprise this morning, when I was walking between my house and that of my neighbor with my dog when my dog spotted a large crab in front of my air conditioner. My dog jumped back because the crab reached a claw out at her. I ran into the house and woke up my hubby and he could not see it. I was not drinking by the way..Perhaps it crawled back under the air conditioner. What we want to know how the hell did it get there ? And should I call someone. I alerted my neighbor with very little dogs...
Any takers ?

Default Large Crab
I saw what looked like a large crab crossing Abana Path near Pinellas the other night, but I didn't have time to stop. Maybe I wasn't crazy after all!

When I read the title of this thread, I thought this was a joke about someone's husband getting lost.
