Pita and the Land Crab
 

Yesterday, Pita was outside on the porch playing with her best friend Jane (a young cat) when I hear her barking, so I go out to check on her and they are cornering a land crab! I don't see land crabs on my property that often but with all the rain and the hurricane one got on the porch.

Anyway I was trying to herd the crab into a box, (i didn't want to pick it up)
Pita rushes into the crab and it pinches her on the face with it's big claw!! :D

So she backs up and the claw comes off of the crab but is still stuck on Pita's face! I couldn't get it off! Pita, of course, is yelping away so I run in
the house yelling for my hubby who comes and pries this crab claw with all of his might! Pita settled down and thank goodness she wasn't hurt, it had just gotten fur, no skin. They must have some kind of locking mechanism!

What a fiasco! Pita had runny poops then slept on the couch the rest of the day. She's ok today, but yesterday was very traumatic for her!

Thank God for my Dudley do Right hubby! This happened not long after I had a "should I call an ambulance ?" asthma attack which he helped me thro.
All of this before 10 AM.

Too much drama too early in the day!!!

Poor Pita. And poor Mama. I know this must have scared you silly! My daughter's dogs went after a snake once in her back yard and it just about gave her a heart attack! Go and take a rest with poor little Pita. You both need some cuddling. :)

Pita had quite a day, poor baby! Glad that she wasn't hurt by the crab. :aimeeyork

I'm so glad little Pita is okay! What a scary ordeal for both of you! I'm so sorry to hear you are having asthma problems! That has got to be so scary too! Best wishes to both you and Pita and I'm thankful you have your hubby to help you through these traumatic times! Take it easy today!!!

Oh I'm so glad she's OK.
I think you shoud relax and take today off. :)

Im glad she is ok . Poor thing I bet it really scared her.

Wow, so scary. Im glad that Pita is ok. Poor thing got traumatized.

OMG Jennifer! Poor Pita! I would have totally freaked out and probably done something stupid like grab a chair and try to hit the crab! lol

Hope she's doing better today.
