So I know having a few T's has helped my arachnophobia greatly. A few months ago I couldn't even see a photo of a spider without cringing away, but now I stare at my T's far too frequently in awe. Last night I was put to a unexpected test. While wrestling around on the floor with 180lbs of dogs and my teen son, I caught sight of movement on the floor beside me. Great, a loose cricket, I think, and go to capture it. But lo, it was no cricket. A common wolf spider had made its way into my home. Formerly such a discovery would have elicited a strangled sound of fear as I fled far enough for safety, but close enough to keep an eye on it while I yelled for my son to do something! But not this time. To my son's amazement, I caught it in a catch cup and released it outside. Still can't use my hands. Nope. Not yet anyway...
Is it weird that afterwards I thought about whether or not I should have built it an enclosure and kept it as a pet?
