Dang spider

Ha ha! I have a tiny spider in my closet, never could get him, but he is tiny and few feet away from my bed. Would do no good to clean the closet as he probably relocated.

How about the time I had just groomed Mikey out back and I was laying on my bed with my laptop and a CENTIPEDE crawled out from under my pillow? I SCREAMED, my brother comes running in and sees me crying on the bed like a freak. He finally finds it behind the dresser and Mr. Centipede gets crushed and flushed down the toilet. SCARIEST moment of my life.

I had a centipede a foot long run over me once. True.

I was getting ready to go to a concert YEARS ago and was barefoot in the bathroom and stepped and felt something weird right along the arch of my foot. When I looked down it was a centipede. I FREAKED out, probably about like you did. I was shaking and couldn't stop crying. I was actually probably a couple years younger than you at the time.

Well, I'm glad you got the darn spider. I really hate it when they are on the ceiling and you can't reach them. I'm always afraid they will come right over me then drop on me.

Waking up with a scorpion on your sleeping bag is NOT a fun experience.....especially when your squad mate decides to help you and kill it with his boot....and it's in a sensitive area of the male anatomy.

I ran across this ugly critter a few weeks ago, hanging on the outside of the house. Thank goodness it was outside. After I took her pic, I sent her on her way to Spider Heaven. I decided to Google it to see what it was since it sure looked deadly to me at the time! Poor thing was an ordinary garden spider. Oh well - it should have been in the garden instead of hanging on the house - serves it right. That round thing to the left is a pod, so I guess I killed innocent babies too.
Yes - I know - the house needs a bath!

Did you try talking to it ???
I mean, ask it WHY it was in your sleeping bag ???
I would have done that. And if it didn't answer me, I'd squish it with my boot to.

Like Miss Z., I like spiders. I ignore them no matter where they are unless they are really big and I'm afraid one of the cats might get an upset stomach from eating it, then I capture it and put it outside. I'm always rescuing spiders from sinks and tubs by putting a cloth down so they can crawl out and scuttle off.

However, I do have an aversion to the small black spiders that walk sideways like a crab because they will bite me and always cause a big lump that will last a week. I capture them if I can but will kill if I have to because they will harm me.

And, if faced with a black widow spider, or, even worse, a scorpion, I would be murderous.

No, they don't relocate. He's hiding....watching....waiting. Waiting for you to fall into a deep sleep....and then....he will attack.
