I love the idea of her being a grandspider (I don't think my mother would ever consider that thought!).
My mom wasn't sure she could consider the thought, either. She thought I was nuts for getting a spider as a pet.

However, over time, she started to warm up to the idea and when I had to go into hospital for nine weeks in 2002, she was nervous, but also excited by the idea of having Baby as a guest. She and Dad would go to Baby's cage daily and talk to her and tell her how pretty she was. Even now, they'll talk to her and rub the side of her cage when they come over to visit.

I thank Baby's mom for submitting her photo and her story, which is filled with love and respect and an understanding of a typically misunderstood animal that I find refreshing. Congratulations, Baby, on being Pet of the Day!

Thank you. I wasn't sure if they'd put up a spider's picture and story, but I'm glad they did. Baby thanks you for the congratulations.
