What Lives at the Hospital?

Coco the Hospital Crab, of course!
O.k. -at first glance you'll notice Dave's stubby fingers. Get past that and you'll meet Coco the crab.

Chris Morrison - a good friend of Dave's at work - came across this crabby friend at the hospital on Thursday. He kept him in this trash can the rest of the day so he could bring him home to show . . . . .

well, the neighborhood.

His claws were incredibly strong! One of the neighbors was using a pampered chef bamboo spoon to check him out (o.k. - poke at him, I guess) when he grabbed hold of it and he wouldn't let it go! I can see how they easily break into the coconuts without breaking a sweat. His underbelly was a beautiful brilliant blue - with orange specks. Honestly - such a waste that you have to pick him up to be able to see the color! (How will he ever find a suitor with that tactic!!!)

After the ooohs and ahhhs - along with the photo shoot - the kids took the creature back into his favored environment. The jungle seems to suit him much more than the trash can.
