An awkward phase
Would have gotten a better picture, but my first impulse was to try and grab a piece to help him out.

Hermit crab attached to my thumbnail. Not shown is the kiddo freaking out. She got pinched by one as a 2-yr-old & that memory stuck.

Did it hurt?

Thx! Interesting perspectives.
One thing though (and a question that maybe someone could help me out with): Like many sites, this one pulls a switcheroo and swaps the location of the next page ‘button’ ( that is, “>”) with an advertisement, obviously in the hope that you ‘mistakenly’ click on the ad. That pisses me (and my intelligence) off. Is there a name (formal or not) that website builders call this strategy of forcing ad-clicks on to users?

I let this little one grab only the nail, so no ouch.
The one that got my daughter back when she was two pinched her finger hard, it hurt like hell, and she’s still mad about it. All I had available to soothe it once I detached the little beastie were hugs, kisses and the cold bottle of Kalik beer pressed against the pinched spot. Quality parenting moment!

Just for the sake of followup, we’ve been swapping off roughly every two weeks for the past couple years, and everyone is relatively happy with the arrangement.

Good for you! And good for Bubbles, especially.

I saw a tiny baby rabbit this morning, very close to the sidewalk, frozen in place so as not to attract attention. I was able to go inside and grab my camera - long zooms can be handy, but the light was still a bit low.

Saw the fox posts…
My buddy back home in WI has two pet foxes – really cute and sweet.
The best is when they dive bomb his chocolate lab like they are going for mice in the snow.
