Tarantulas

2008.07.30



So I left our french doors open just for a bit to cool off the room.

I was a teeensy bit nervous about a frog maybe hopping in since we don't have screens on these doors.

I guess I didn't have to worry about frogs!

I caught him in a butterfly net, put him in a plastic container with a lid and some holes cut in for air and proceeded to place him on our kitchen counter.

I wanted to be able to take him down to the park and release him but first I wanted my boys to see him and they weren't home yet.

I turned my back on the thing while I started dinner and within about 3 minutes, I turned around to find the darn thing crawling on my kitchen counter! GAH!

Grabbed my net again, put him in it, ran to the car, held the net OUTSIDE THE CAR WINDOW, and raced down to the park and set him free in the bushes there.

Sometimes I can't believe I live here & haven't gone insane yet.

KerBear AGH! There is no way I would be able to handle THAT! Seesh!! I don't mind spiders, but the kind I can squish and kill if necessary - one that size would not be something I would ever want to come into contact with.... that's for sure!! Kudos to you ;)
