She is now 14 and has since moved on, but alas, I am stuck.While spiders don't give you the love a dog would, a spider is the only pet you never have to touch, you can ignore for a week or more and it doesn't want/need your attention. On the other hand, they are beautiful and exotic, unique and interesting to watch and usually pounce on feeder insects - which makes them entertaining as well as low-cost and low-demand.</blockquote>
