my tarantula

    So for my 9th birthday i received a tarantula for a present, which was pretty cool to me and also served as a kick ass show and tell item as well as an easy animal to write papers about for elementary school papers.  Well as i got older the crickets we used to feed it would chirp at night keeping me awake so i would leave the spider in the kitchen or it would be in my dads room.  well weeks turned to months then years without me having the spider in my room.  fast forward 19 years and we still have the spider who now resides at my sisters apartment keeping her and my niece company.
