The Water Bowl: Spider

Spider

This morning I went for a very brief jog. Maybe I shouldn't have... I was on the phone (so at this point I was walking) when it came out of no where! I heard someone coming up behind me so I moved over to the edge of the sidewalk so he could pass. All of a sudden a spider the size of a kitten jumped up out of the grass and onto my ankle. I immediately held my breath and prayed to God. I didn't want the person on the phone to think I was crazy (because I wanted to scream like a little girl), or the guy coming up behind me to think I was crazy (because I wanted to scream like a little girl AND jump around kicking and shaking). I immediately stopped and moved my left leg towards my right leg (the one with the spider on it) to try to scare him...well it worked. (But not like I wanted it too...) He ran UP my leg to my knee! (I am shivering just thinking about it.) I did a little jig and the kitty-sized spider finally jumped off. I'm beginning to re-think this jogging thing. You Live, You Learn.

I thought that "Frog" was awesome, but "Spider" was hilarious. What animal/insect/arachnid is next?

The Water Bowl

Welcome to The Water Bowl Blog! This blog is about my life as it pertains to my three dogs (Hope, Prada, and Louie), my one fish (Dr. Feel), my attempts at cooking, and a little bit about my life. Feel free to add comments and recommend blogs that you think I would enjoy.

Hope goes by the name of Hope (that is whenever she can hear you). She is almost deaf and blind but she is still a wonderful dog. However, her condition has resulted in me having to buy more windex to clean the floor to ceiling windows which she always mistakes as an open door. Bless her heart.

Prada also goes by the name of Girl. She's suppose to be a Long-Haired Chihuahua, but she has a little bit of a weight problem and is now almost the size of a Boston Terrier.

Louie also goes by the name of Mister. He and Prada are brother and sister. He, like his sister, is almost three years old. However, he still hasn't masterd the art of peeing on things besides himself. He goes to raise his leg up but for some reason always does a hand-stand, which results on him peeing on himself...all the time.

Dr. Feel is a Beta Fish. I've had him for almost a year. He doesn't do much but swim around, but that's alright with me.
