I seem to have a pet spider

Hi everyone,

I know this will seem an odd post (and from me that might not surprise you ) but I seem to have acquired a little spider.

Now I am slightly afraid of spiders and don't like them near me, but I would never ever hurt one. I either pick them up and put them outside if they are big ones (with a glass and a piece of card of course!) or with little ones I wait for them to hide and then I can forget they're there.

So about a week ago, when I saw a little spider on my bedside cabinet I wouldn't go to bed until I couldn't see it (that's my logic) but when I put the light on in the night he was there right in line with my face. Now every night since, he actually seems to wait for me to go to bed then he comes out, does a little spider dance then seems to snuggle up right by my head. Now this does freak me out a bit but I'm starting to think he's actually really sweet and just enjoys the company. I even think I'd miss him if one night he wasn't there. Do you think this is possible of a little spider? Has anyone ever heard of spiders behaving like pets?

Aww don't be mean - I said I never hurt spiders. I accidentally squashed one once and cried all day. I was about 17...

When i was in UK the same happened to me, I am not afraid of spiders so when i noticed a small one wandering around living room, I left him too it, I say he, coz it felt like he was a he, he he! anyway after seeing him a few times I called him intsi (can't spell that) every night while I was lounging on settee watching tele he would come wandering in have a walk round and go back towards the kitchen. After following him one night I saw him go into a small hole at the corner of the skirting board. This carried on for 18 months!! obviously growing all the time he grew quite large, he got so used to the fact I was not going to harm him, he took to coming out of his hole when i was washing up just sitting there as if watching me. I know this all sounds crazy but I swear it is true, and I don't drink! One night he did not come for his usual wander and that was it, he never came again, Oh, I'm filling up. So Sabrina,you are not going crazy, and trust me you will grow to love him/her.

just watch big brother when it comes on if the poor little thing has any sense it will leave before the first vote.

p.s. when me and my 5 sisters were little we had a little door mouse that lived in our coal bunker and it would come into the house and sit and watch tv with us if we were quiet.
