I do have a bit of a mean streak that rears its head now and again, but I'm
a pussycat really.
I agree with you about the spiders though, they're our allies. A glass and
a piece of card and they're on their way. In fact we're quite the animal
lovers here. We have one dachshund, an aquarium of fish, another fish
upstairs, 7 finches, 2 outside pond fish and 3 chickens. Oh, and feeders
for the many wild birds that frequent our backyard. We even have a
"hospital box" for the sick ones. Like I said, I'm really a softy at heart :}
Oh, did I mention the pond frogs?
