I know folks are gonna think I'm crazy, but my spider was a love. She was a Chilean Rose Tarantula that we rescued from a friend's irresponsible, teenage son.
Just a beautiful and fascinating animal. Lived to the age of approx 17 and died from complications of a particularly bad molt. Used to call her spider kitty. Still miss her.

I'm scared of spiders...

You're not alone. Several of our friends felt the same way.
In truth, tarantulas are beautiful and gentle beasties. The Chilean Rose is one of the gentlest in temperament. They are not cuddle pets, but are aware of who takes care of them and will respond accordingly.
Spiders of all species are wonderful for controlling less desirable insect pests. Oh, and arachnids are not considered insects.

Too many legs....sucking their victims juice up.....aaarrrggghhhhh
Also a big hairy one found it's way onto my ... when I went to the toilet as a kid....That may have something to do with it, I still check the seat before a sit down toilet trip.

We're vapers. We also suck the juice up! ;)
The toilet story, well, can't argue with that.

I've never been exposed to them other than the ones who crawl across the floor in the house and the ones that build webs outside. Some of those spiders are beautiful.

Those web weavers are responsible for keeping the truly nasties from getting Into your house. :)

yes they are! but just because they're cool to look at, doesn't mean I want them on my body.. or anywhere near me, really. that's my take on it..

Poor DaBucs kitty. Hope he feels better soon. Your daughter is a doll.

Sue is our official cat lady unless someone can top 5.

Join me in the terrified of spiders category. They bite. So do dogs but they will likely give you a warning. I got a bad infection from a spider bite a long time ago that took several months to get over. They always did frighten me though.
