We also name ...Ha -- we also have spider housepets. We also name them. They're fascinating creatures.<br /><br />Please don't kill them! The kids are right; they won't bother you.<br /><br />Just relocate them to the outdoors. It'll take just a moment. You won't have to touch them; the kids could even do it. <br />Here's how:<br />- Get a clear glass and a thin piece of cardboard (like a bit of cereal box cardboard -- that sort of thing.) The cardboard should be about twice as large as the mouth of the cup.<br /><br />- Place the clear glass over the spider. Be careful to avoid crushing his legs -- that's why the clear glass is helpful. (The bigger the spider, the bigger the cup you'll need.)<br /><br />- Keep the mouth of the glass flat against the wall/floor. Gently, gently slide the cardboard between the cup and the wall/floor. Once the cardboard covers the mouth of the cup, you're good! Keep the cardboard over the mouth of the cup and take the spider outdoors.<br /><br />We don't kill animals whenever it can be avoided. I just feel like it's human-centric; I don't feel like I have the right to take another creature's life. I don't want to take something that I can't give back! A life is a life, each god-given and unique and miraculous.<br /><br />God created these little creatures who can make gorgeous webs and super-strong fibers. I feel awful destroying this incredible little creature that was designed by God, especially when it's so simple to just relocate it outdoors!<br /><br />Plus, I'm afraid that it's bad karma. I'm a big believer in "what goes around, comes around!" :-)<br /><br />Best,<br />TruewellSylvia MiaSara Truewellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16529767984881537686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480927676896809475.post-71422268794729683932011-08-29T06:54:09.285-07:002011-08-29T06:54:09.285-07:00Those are not the types of pets I could live with ...Those are not the types of pets I could live with either.

Because I grew up in the south, where there are TONS of mosquitoes I grew up loving all spiders. Of course in the south almost everyone has AC, so spiders are mostly outside and not inside. Now that I am living in the great northwest where we have no AC in our house (only really need it two or three days a year anyway) we tend to keep the doors open most of the day, this tends to let in mosquitoes. Because of this, I am very happy when a hungry spider move in and around the house to help get rid of all our mosquitoes. Because I am one of the only ones at work who is not scared of spiders, they tend to call me to come "take care of it" when they see one. Much to their dismay I tend to catch them and put them outside rather than killing poor Charlotte.Homeschoolin Mama https://www.blogger.com/profile/08498224321720906377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480927676896809475.post-76175838406952251442011-08-28T21:33:02.204-07:002011-08-28T21:33:02.204-07:00I'm not afraid of spiders either...

And then my mom comes and kills them all and the kids get all sad that "Bubblegum" died. He was such a sweet ant. hahaJamie Wooddellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09440324982653895242noreply@blogger.com
