Nature gave me a new pet ~ I am not amused.

So this morning, I casually sit in my computer chair to check email, update the blog, zone out, etc.
Well out of the corner of my eye I see something crawling.
Hmm.
What could it be?

What's that?

It just looks like a brown lump?

Right, right.

Look a bit closer.............

Still a brown lump?
It's a furry lump ya know.
All closed up.

Here gander at this one.


Oh that's right.
It's a FREAKIN TARANTULA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This pet is the size of a quarter.
Sure the pic isn't the best but I was working with what I got.


If there is one thing in the world I am terrified of it's FREAKIN SPIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Needless to say I almost pooped my pants but composed myself enough to take pics.
I called Cheeks over & he promptly tried to poke it (thru the screen).
I had to tell him "No! Mommy is scared of them."
Thank God Cheeks is the Cricket Killer, I am going to sic him on this one if he's not gone by the time I get home from work.


If he isn't, then I will call him Chet & admire him thru the safety of glass.


So what kind of pet has nature given you?


Late!
