Hi Shelley: I just wanted to let you know that my husband got a real kick out of reading your post. He started laughing because it reminded him of me. I am also terrified of these awful tiny creatures, I just scream and panic when I see one and run and yell for my husband or son to come and kill it. It just makes me freak out when no one is it home and I have to do it myself, you ought to see the look on my face and the weird sounds I make when I have to kill it myself. Apparently, my husband said that both our male ferrets Maxi and Buddy each have eaten a small spider, not a wolf spider just one of those regular thingy ones. He said it is protein for them, my opinion of this is that I think he is nuts. I thought to myself afterwards just imagine they probably kissed me sometime after eating it, ahhh, how awful at least that's my opinion. My hooman guys here love to tease me when they kill a spider in a kleenex or paper towel they think it's a joke and chase me. Boy, do I start screaming and runnning for dear life, if the fuzzies are out and hear me screaming and see me running. Oh, boy is this fun let's chase crazy mom she wants to play. Little do they know that no crazy mom doesn't want to play she is running scared from a dead spider or live for that matter. My husband and son keep telling me that I am about a billion times bigger than these creatures and they are probably more afraid of me because of how much bigger I am than they are. Just thought that I would let you know Shelley, your not alone in this. Hugs, Rosie & The Fabulous '4' (Maxi, Maxine, Booger & Buddy) [Posted in FML issue 3404]
