There wasn’t a plan for the saucer size spider on the kitchen floor.

I knew that I wouldn’t try anything that had to do with picking it up so I grabbed a mixing bowl, trapped it and stood there hoping that the bowl wouldn’t start moving … if it did I’d grab the dogs and we’re out of here.

Later that day, help arrived and the spider – still under the bowl – was released back into the forest unharmed.

Must be a wake up call to prepare for a face to face with a bear, wolf or a zombie.
