Dearest Lottie, what an adorable Hermit Crab you are! You are so pretty with that blue shell, and how nice that you get to select from among several other shells as you grow! you enjoy coming outside for the morning mists and hanging out with your buddies Shelly and Turtle. You can climb on your dear person's hand and not pinch. You and he/she and Shelly and Turtle all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Lottie, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear person and Shelly and Turtle and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.
