Sea Monkey Troubles
Remember when I told you I was growing my own Sea Monkeys? And then they started to hatch? Well, I have a little bit of bad news to report about my Sea Monkeys. I hope you will not think poorly of me when you learn this. I am a little bit sad. See, the directions say:
DO NOT OVERFEED. Overfeeding is the most common reason for Sea Monkey deaths! Cloudy green water means too much uneaten food. This uneaten food consumes oxygen and causes the Sea Monkeys to suffocate, the poor little things. Better to have skinny and healthy Sea Monkeys than an overfed one in a coma.
So, I was trying to be a responsible pet owner and follow directions. But look! Some of my Sea Monkeys died!!! That black speck is the body of one of my Sea Monkeys. I guess he will have a burial at sea. I do not know if I fed them too much or too little. Or maybe I did not aerate them enough.
I have only four pets remaining. Do you want to know their names? Number 1 is called Jeter, because he likes to do funny things and he is always laughing and laughing. Number 2 is named Sarge Charlie. Charlie is a brave Sea Monkey, and patriotic, too. Number 3 is named Skeezix. Notice how he is very muscular? And he likes to hang out by the pink accessories. Sea Monkey number 4 is named Sophie. She is still a young Sea Monkey, but she is very sweet.
Here is an aerial view of my pets. See them frollicking in the surf?
My Sea Monkey manual also says that sad days may happen. If all the Sea Monkeys die, you can let the water evaporate and then add more water again until new babies hatch. I guess Sea Monkeys believe in reincarnation.I decided I will have to watch my pets much more closely. Because I do not want any more of them to have to be reincarnated.
I also want to tell you that the official Cats Exclusive website is open. If you go there, you can read all about their Cat Show in October! The website is different than their blog. If you go to the Cats Exclusive Blog today, you can read all about Pierre. He is one of my Mommie's favorite cats, and he recently had a surgery on one of his eyes. Pierre is a very friendly, outgoing and wonderful cat. We sure hope he gets a home soon!
