So sad...poor Manti
So sad today our Praying Mantis "Manti" died. I even caught a cricket for her last night...so she wouldn't starve (YUCK) and she must have eaten it then took a rest but never woke up. We thought she was sleeping and so we moved the jar she didn't turn her head to look at us like usually, so we sprinkled a few drops of water through the lid. Then McKenna used a straw and touched her and she still didn't move. I text Will and he broke the news to Calvin. She actually exceeded her life expectancy by 2-3 months! We are awaiting Calvin's return home from hunting so he can give her a proper burial upon his requests. She was actually quite fascinating to watch we will strangely miss her.

The Richardson would like to send their deepest condolences and are wondering when the viewing will be to see if we can get a flight in time! J/K Sorry to hear about Manti...but at least she had a good long life in Mantis years.
O dear, I'm trying to take this very seriously! LOL. Seriously though, what an easy pet! We need one of those since we are so anti pets. Love you guys.
Ok, update your blog already! You always give me grief...but come on it's been 10days!
Miss the details of your lives!
love ya
Hi there beautiful! I didn't really get a chance to say goodbye when we moved but I wanted to tell you that I think you're so awesome and so sweet and I'm so grateful I got to get to know you for the little time I was there. You're such a sweetheart and a great example to me of dedication and service. Hope all is well! Happy New Year!
