Apr. 20th, 2007 04:45 amSo the water? Is still not working. I spent my morning over at Dad's house washing laundry so I'll have clothes to wear to work.
But I rescued a spider from my cat? Which felt really weird, but well. I have this thing about cats and small helpless things. 'Thing' being, if it can't defend itself from the cat, I feel obliged to save it. Which in this case involved staring at it to try and figure out if it was venomous or not - I don't think so, I think it was a very young wolf spider. Not as compact as the types more likely to be venomous and inside.
So! After getting a glass and a paper towel, I returned to shoo Dusky away from this sort of tiny thing cowering in the corner. Trapping it on the wall didn't work, because I couldn't get it onto the paper towel. So I knocked it on to the floor! (Crossing my fingers that it wouldn't go flying, since I'm mostly-okay with them now but I promise nothing if it actually lands on me. ^^; )
Success! And I carted it outside, where I thought it had somehow miraculously gotten out of the glass since I couldn't find it. Brownish/translucent spider + tinted glass = invisibility. Eventually I found it again, by tilting the glass around in the light from the garage. Shook her (him?) out into the grass, and all was well!
Except inside. Where Dusky was still in that corner looking for her neat new toy. XD I mean, she saw me catch it in the glass. She batted at the glass trying to get it! But somehow, the significance of me and my spider-containing glass leaving the house escaped her.
