Very kind, indeed.<br /><br /><b>Wendy</b>, why do they think it's crazy to keep a mild mannered, clean creature, as opposed to spending lots of money for a noisy spaniel who chews on the remote control and goes potty on the carpets? It just seems a little out of balance to me.<br /><br />I have never been bitten by a spider, <b>Gaelyn</b>. I suppose that could be a special motivator, eh?<br /><br />You too, <b>Happyone</b>? The family was entertained by a spider last night. We were driving home from a friend's house, and interrupted one spider's trek on our side window. It was funny to see it fight the breeze while hanging on, and then take a few quick steps when we stopped or turned. Meh, I guess it doesn't take a lot to amuse us.Craver Viihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882284402568264182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23674601.post-54149096882586711052010-09-07T13:25:21.193-05:002010-09-07T13:25:21.193-05:00Nice spider shots.

Most people think I'm crazy but I LOVE tarantulas, I used to have one 10 years ago. I would love to get another one but with the birds (Leeloo and Queequeg) it's not a safe idea.<br />Cool photos!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395084230673130207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23674601.post-81304743284318547562010-09-07T10:57:30.794-05:002010-09-07T10:57:30.794-05:00I must admit my friend, you did wonderfully well h...I must admit my friend, you did wonderfully well here, they are grand shots.imachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14533409255215440113noreply@blogger.com
