Hey all...

So this was a very scary thing for me. I was sitting outside in front watching the girls go potty, reading the mail. I sit in a wooden lawn chair that I normally fold up and put by the house when I'm not out there... the girls of course come by and jump up and down from time to time especially when they are ready to go in.

Anyway.. I'm putting the chair away, and I thought I saw something move, I noticed a thick web.. turned the chair a bit and saw a black widow.. I've never seen one before, but there was no mistaking this one...

I actually captured it in a jar.. then found out they are pretty common here.

Called the vet and the dr. they told me I would see a wound, and the girls would probably not be bitten because of their long hair, but just keep an eye on them and if they act weird, take them to the ER.

Eitehr way... very scary...

Calling the exterminators tomorrow.
