Critter Confessions- Sea Style
Hello, Invisible Friends. Sandie the Stingray here again.
And I have a confession.
I’m so distressed by this. I really am. For a stingray, it’s simply scandalous… If I could wuffle, I would.
So I guess instead, I’ll just shuffle. In shame.
I know, lame joke. I guess there’s no getting around it.
I’ll have to admit it.
Here goes:
I, Sandie the Stingray of the Sea, am allergic to shellfish.
That’s right.
I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “Excuse me, Sandie, but all stingrays eat are crabs, clams, shrimp, fish and worms.” WORMS! How can a girl survive on fish and worms alone?
Well, this girl can’t. No sir.
And that’s the bad thing.
Driven to boredom by munching on fish nuggets, fish and chips, fish tacos, fish burgers, fish sandwiches, grilled fish, blackened fish, fried fish, fried worms, grilled worms, stewed worms….you get the point; I turned to a even more scandalous craving.
Bacon cheeseburgers!
And fries.
Just give me a thick patty of meat, a slab of cheddar and juicy bacon on a tasty bun…and I’m happy.
So happy that I’ve been eating two or three a day.
It’s really wrecking havoc on my girlish figure. Do my side flaps look fat to you?
I’m depressed now. Anyone up for a burger?
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! We’ve got a week full of whimsical fun coming up…as well as the Midsummers Night Dream Ball! If you haven’t already e-mailed RSVPs for your critters or Pond Ambassadors, do it today! Today is the last day! After that, no more RSVPs will be accepted!
Or else…

It’s ok, you just feel bloated from all the salt. Don’t worry, you’re not fat!

I’m kind of in love with this post. The whole giving a stuffed animal, or inanimate object a personality has always been a favorite pasttime of mine. And just for the record, you’re not fat…you’re just big-boned!

And now I’m craving a bacon cheeseburger at 9 in the morning!
Thanks for stopping by and weighing in on our Schnoodle saga. We’ve decided to hold off on adopting just yet until we have a few more boxes unpacked and can actually find our stuff…like our spoons, for instance!
Happy Weekend!

This really is shocking since I’ve fed stingrays in Grand Cayman several times and their love of seafood compels them to interact with humans on a regular basis.
August 8th, 2009 at 7:38 am
Poor little Sadie
Those burgers are an awfully nice consolation, though!
August 8th, 2009 at 8:52 am
If I ever saw a sting ray stuffed animal, I would so have it right now.
August 8th, 2009 at 10:02 am
Ah, this post make me smile! Very funny the burger and the fries placed straight after the photo of Sandie the Stingray!!!!!
August 8th, 2009 at 10:30 am
Funny! I could go for a bacon cheeseburger about now too. I hope things are going well in the pond. Have a wonderful weekend Duckie!
XOOX

So funny! Sometimes a bacon cheeseburger is all ya need! LOL
August 8th, 2009 at 11:52 am
We can all have bacon cheeseburgers together, sing campfire songs, and commisserate with each other over whether we’re fat. Then we’ll await the critter fest with bated breath. Happy weekend, Duckie!

I’m in deep love with Sandy…she’s got my kinda taste in food, and she’s so hug-able!
And, yes, Sandy, I’m up for a burger!
August 8th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
Sandie you are my favorite new critter at the pond!
The burgers do look delish! Can I have a bite?
Your new friend, ~Melissa
August 8th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Yummmmmmmmmm…..bacon cheeseburgers…french fries….I totally feel your pain Sandie!
August 8th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
I still love you – fat side flaps or not. I will eat bacon cheeseburgers and fries any time with you!!
August 8th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
Can’t resist a yummy bacon cheeseburger with fries! We got in our RSVP just in time
August 9th, 2009 at 4:21 am
Bacon cheeseburgers rock my world too!
August 9th, 2009 at 7:23 am
Poor Sandie:( I love you no matter what you eat. Anytime you want to do a lunch or dinner date I’m game:)
August 9th, 2009 at 8:11 am
OMG, LOL!
August 9th, 2009 at 8:14 am
So, is it safe to say she was “stuffed” after eating that bacon cheeseburger?? I think that could be worse than the shuffle-wuffle joke. Sorry, I’m still a little loony after the obligatory swim meet yesterday. You and Bitty should stop by there’s a recipe I am sharing and it involves chocolate…
August 9th, 2009 at 8:21 am
I think you look great, but if your feeling puff-ish you can always try the master cleanse!
August 9th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Poor little Sandi. Try a chicken burger my dear!
August 9th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
Amen, Sistah Stingray, I’ll take hamburgers over fish most times, sugar. Do NOT stress over this; it isn’t worth the stress. Just take come vitamin B complex and relaaaaaaaaaax………
xoxo,
Connie

Oh, poor Sandy – although being condemned to a life of burgers and fries is not so bad
August 9th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
you have made me hungry …
xoxo
hugs

August 9th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
What I would do for a huge cheeseburger right now. Mmmm.
August 9th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
I know exactly how Miss Sandie Stingray feels…there’s nothin’ like a bacon cheeseburger to soothe your appetite! Chilly walked by and saw your photo and is just really begging me to make him one! lol!
August 10th, 2009 at 1:31 am
hehe Sandie the Stingray looks pretty and fluffy!!
August 10th, 2009 at 4:38 am
mmm…burger porn, one of my all-time favorites.
you are just too entertaining, miranda.
August 10th, 2009 at 5:38 am
Ok, it’s 9:30 and I’m drooling for a cheeseburger. Not just any old cheeseburger froma fast food chain, but a homemade one that dribbles down your arms to your elbows. The kind that take about 20 napkins to enjoy.
August 10th, 2009 at 7:31 am
Mmmm….cheeseburgers! Just do a few extra laps around the pool and it won’t matter Sandie!
August 10th, 2009 at 8:54 am
I mean, who CAN resist a good cheeseburger? I recommend that Sandie pick up the most recent “Texas Monthly”, which has a good feature on where to find the best burgers. It isn’t mammal specific, so there’s something for everyone (or every sting ray) in there.
August 10th, 2009 at 9:12 am
love love love- so glad to be back in civilization if for no other reason than to catch up on the happenings at the pond!
PS- a great post would be one with all of your critters… I’d like to see the storage area that they all inhabit when they’re not gracing us with lots of critter drama!
xoox

That stingray and I have a lot in common!
August 10th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
I bet critters from near and far will be dressed in their finest attire. Can’t wait!
In response to your comment: Ah, impatient now are we?! It won’t be long.
August 10th, 2009 at 2:33 pm
I’ll take just the fries please
I am hoping for the day when my meal looks better than Josh’s and you want mine instead 
August 10th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
Haha the secret life of a stingray!
I love that you have a stingray soft toy. I’ve never seen one in my life before!
August 10th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Poor Sandie! :0(
August 10th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
Your sideflaps look fine girl!
Everytime I see a stingray I think of my honeymoon when my husband and I touched them, held them and enjoyed them.
