Saying Goodbye to Spidey...sniff sniff...

Okay, I am really surprised we kept the spider as long as we did. More than two weeks. It seemed to be doing okay, but I always have a hard time seeing things in a cage (except criminals of course) unless they are really nice habitat places like at some zoos. Spidey's bug house was not a very big one. That, and D is getting tired of taking the boys out to catch flies and other bugs to put in the cage. Yes, it was fascinating to see Spidey lay in wait and then attack the prey. Still, we decided it was in our best interest and his/hers to make Spidey an outdoor pet. Good luck Spidey, we will miss you...please stay outside and keep other bugs and spiders from coming in.

I also mentioned that after Claireford's untimely demise there was a mysterious tiny little slug-like creature in the tank. Thinking it may have been a baby snail with an undeveloped shell, I kept it for several weeks, but eventually I gave up on it being a snail and set it free. I know that snails and slugs are pretty much the same thing, but I just can't stomach the thought of feeding slugs for some reason. Snails, I can handle. Near the start of the school year I was walking home from the school with #3 and #4 and I chanced upon a snail crossing the sidewalk. I stopped the boys and had them come and look at it. My intention was to look at it, and then let it go on its slow but merry way. Then I saw a second snail just off of the sidewalk, and I couldn't resist. #1 was pretty sad when Claireford died ( Claireford is named after Cliff and Claire Hu
