Poor little Jo-jo crab died today.
After I had been keeping him near me for observation, I returned him to his cage and placed him on his black to see if he had the energy to bother to right himself. After a bit, I decided to go about other household chores. When I next checked him, I found that he had righted himself, crawled over to 'cuddle' next to Ny-ny Fish crab and relaxed out of his shell finally and died. 
Poor little pickle.
Joseph took it pretty well. The poor bean had quite a lot of disappointment today, as this morning I told him that he could no longer go to his preschool because we were moving. I had told him before, but today it sunk in and he was inconsolable. . And then he learns that his little pet won't get to move with us. Poor Josey. He's a reasonable little guy, thankfully, and the sweet dear has been frequently checking on Nyssa's crab to make sure she's ok. 
RIP

Thats a lot of bad news for a little being in a single day.
Especially as he had such excellent ideas for cheering me up the other day.
So is it new crab time, or are you going to let this one rest?
RIP

Yeah Poor pickle. a few minutes ago he tripped and hurt his toe and cried and came to cuddle in my lap and said 'I'm having a bad day!' 
I think after we've moved we'll let him pick a new one.

Not a good day at all. When you're that age it's difficult not to think that the whole world is having a go some days. I hope it starts getting better for him soon.
At least the idea of picking a new one is something to look forward to or are you not going to tell him that yet?
RIP

What do you mean, "when you're that age"? 
Bad luck on the crab front m'dear. Mind you, that's an important lesson for for him- nothing lasts forever. Except possibly the out of order sign on the lift.

We talked a bit about it, and he's concerned that Ny-Ny Fish will be lonely without a friend, so he would like to get a new one and name it Buzz Lightyear.

In an odd way I think his Daddy dying has benefitted his perspective on such things.

Ha ha ha A crab called Buzz Lightyear. 
Tell him from me I think thats an excellent name for a crab.
RIP

Buzz Lightyear??!! Poor bloody thing. I hope crabs don't have a sense of self-respect.
Ah- but now he knows it happens to everything 
RIP

Buzz Lightyear is the highest naming honor Joseph can impart. And actually Nyssa started saying that she in turn needed to rename her crab to Ny-ny Fish Mira Nova Super Power. (if you haven't, rent Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, a must-see)
Yeah. Now I wonder if he'll change our little saying to 'Daddy is with Jesus, Buddha, Nietzsche, and Jo-Jo Crab.' Hehe

If he keeps adding pet names, by the time he's 18 it'll take 10 minutes and sound will a roll of battle honours
Don't you just love the taste of rubber and leather?

Which would be the seemly thing to do in the mind of a four-year-old, I think.

A seemingly left field comment from kerr there, i have to agree.
Though I can think of some circumstances in which that comment might be appropriate (even desirable), hootoo wouldn't be one of them...

? I was refering to my early-morning tea-deprived self managing to forget the AWOL pater situation and then having to worm out of it.
*Not* anything to do with sexual practices, for once

Yeah..you think you all could manage to keep at least *this* thread clean. Christ, people.

Yes, Kerr, it must be terribly hard on you to invest all that time in an image, only to have it backfire on you 
RIP
Kerr_Avon - hunting stray apostrophes and gutting poorly parsed sentences Posted Oct 10, 2003
Ah, but you see this way I get to indulge my other image- the one of a grumpy sod. So I still win
