A couple Fridays ago I came home from Jeramy's football game and had to clean poor pups off from the mud since there had been rain. Usually I go out back to the patio and use the hose faucet to stick their paws under and just clean off. Well it was dark and I could see some black blob by the hose faucet thinking just probably mud or dirt. So I went about cleaning Elora and Kiana and then took them inside. Afterwards, I usually walk around outside to make sure all was ok, and that they didn't dig and mess up our yard. As I was doing that, I took my flashlight and shined it right on the black blob, and SICK.... A HUGE SPIDER!!!!!!!! Not just any spider, a kind of Trianchula.
I was so disgusted, and freaking out. It was RIGHT where I had been standing to clean them off. I guess it was meant to be this way, because if I saw it before I would not have cleaned them off, and would have made Jeramy when he got home. If you know me I DON'T do spiders. I usually spray them with some type of chemical before smashing them with a shoe. Luckly this spider was already Dead. My guess, from the monster (ELORA). That is what her nickname is. Some legs were laying all around. I couldn't believe the size. So I had to take a picture for Jeramy to see, otherwise he wouldv'e thought I was over exaggerating. You are all so lucky that I was brave enough to get as close as I did for the picture. Well needless to say I had nightmares and the next morning I woke up, wondering if it was still there. I went out to put Kiana and Elora out and then was going to get a shovel to get it in the garbage can, and it was GONE!!! Totally gone, every leg too. EEWWHH, Now I was really freaking out, thinking it wasn't even dead when I was so close to it! The only conclusion Jeramy had was that the Elora the monster ate it. She is so gross. She will eat ANYTHING!
