Bugs...Yuck!

So yesterday as I was getting ready there was a small bug in my bathroom. I didn't even see it in there, but saw Phil staring at the floor intently. So I watched him for a moment before I saw a small black bug. I don't know what it was, but Phil usually eats my bugs. However, he was only playing with it. After a few moments, I thought he lost it because it went under the baseboard. I was a little irratated since now I have a bug in the house in the walls. After a few moments I realized it was back out and Phil was watching it again. So I decided I would take care of it. After flushing it down the toilet, Phil was looking all around to try to find the bug, but had no luck.

So last night as I was watching TV, I realized both cats were staring at the ground by the back door. I watched them for a moment, half expecting a small spider or something like that. NO! This was a huge spider. It was the size of a 1/2 dollar. It was huge!!! It was black and I was worried it may be a black widow since it was black. Just as I got up to get a closer look, Phil put it in his mouth and ran to the hallway. I went over and got closer and realized it wasn't a black widow. However, after seeing Phils great skills this morning, I wasn't going to give him a chance to let this one get away. So I threw it outside. Did I say it was huge??
