Daddy Long Legs

They seem to be everywhere nowadays. Behind door posts, in the bathroom, under the couch. I hate spiders! Doesn't matter how big, fat or black they are: I just don't like them at all! They don't scare me, but I find them icky. They run sideways and they always appear when you least expect them.

Sometimes, I compare our whippets to spiders, because of their long legs. But they only have four, not eight. So that's a huge difference. And whippets don't walk sideways, nor do they climb walls. I'm glad we no longer have a basement. I would never enter that basement, because it was the perfect climate for spiders.

Some people vacuum spiders, but I would never do that. What if they survive? Just the thought of them living there, inside the dust bag. Ieuw! I don't smash them either. I like to flush them down the drain, especially if I find one in my bath tub. I rinse them down with hot water and then I close the drain, so they can't crawl back into the tub. That way, I'm sure they are gone.
