So, I went out today to open up the pool, and I saw something in the water that looked like a crab.
At first, I figured surely it had to be a leaf or something. But as I nudged it with the edge of the vacuum, it flipped over, and I saw it was indeed a crab. A real crab. Dead, but real. One of those little ones you find by flipping over rocks at the beach.
Other MOD fished it out with a skimmer. Later, I noticed a second crab! I sucked that one up and fished it out of the trap when I was done with the pool.
So, two little crabs, one male and one female. A crab couple. Other MOD and I named them Mr. and Mrs. Crab and held a brief funeral for them. CW did not take part in the funeral, though, choosing instead to roll her eyes and go back inside. (CW is kinda boring like that.)
We figure some little kid visited the beach yesterday, and snuck a couple pets back in his pocket, and then decided to take them to the pool to play with them. Too bad it's a freshwater pool, with chlorine and a heater. Poor little crabs.
