Teddy would have fun chasing a mouse, but Max would probably bark from a safe distance and then jump into my lap.

I know, right?! He didn't even SEE it! I was so disappointed in him, LOL.

Yet he hunts butterflies outside every day.

Spiders are the creepiest things on the planet. I was lying in my bed innocently one Saturday not too long ago, and the hugest spider I've ever seen came crawling up on my pillow, cool as you please. I tried to set Thor on it, but he kept looking at me, all "why are you so freaked out???? What am I supposed to do?"

When I finally got up the nerve to kill it... I COULDN'T FIND IT. No joke, I slept on the couch for a week. By then, I had enough courage to change the sheets. Still gives me the shivers thinking about it.

OMG, on your pillow? I would have DIED. And I would have been like you... on the couch, lol. And that's exactly why I moved so quickly and grabbed the first thing I could to kill it. Cuz I KNEW if I didn't get it right then and there, I would have lost it. It almost crawled in the vent and I was about to freak.

Jackson did not know what to do with the spider either. He was watching me kill it with great curiosity -- I'm not sure he ever actually saw it moving, lol. Then he might have been more interested.

Mice don't bother me when people have them as pets, or in the pet store. I used to play with them at a neighbors house all the time. But when they are crawling around my house... YIKES!
