I actually had a black spider as a pet. Quite big, At least like a 2Euros coin. Hairy too. I had it for a while. It had chosen a crack in the wood plankings in the corner of the small outside room where I have my sauna. Not far from where I hang my bathrobe. At my eyes level. Whenever I went there I could see its two front legs, its head and attentive eyes. He made little movements in and out while I talked to him nicely. This went on for quite a while, let's say months. Then one day, I got there. He was out, right in the middle of things. I invited it to go back so I could hang my robe. He just did not give a dam. So I took a paper towel, got it in and put the whole thing outside. Weather was balmy. After the sauna I checked and it was gone. Where I do not know. Never told this to the wife.

Lost my last good dog years ago and also my two last beautiful she cats. Details will never be disclosed. I do not want pets anymore, but my little one is sort of starting to desire a red fish in a bowl. So that is what we will have soon, probably. And I am quite confident that it will be the perfect pet until it lasts. We are already beginning to tell her that little fishes ... I think that it would be good for her to have a living creature to observe, care, to be worried, to be amused and eventually sad because of it.
