An Older Miss Muffet


Most older folks have a cuddly little dog or a playful cat or a talkative bird as a pet. They offer companionship and encourage mobility. Unconditional love is a fact of life. Well, a woman in our park has a spider who has covered her kitchen window with its web and she considers it a pet, even feeds it flies! I suppose there are some advantages to befriending a desert spider---no expensive food, no vet visits, no midnight walks. Personally, the only pet I need is my husband!
