These guys are really cool, if you stay around long enough....they bounce on their webs like a trampoline. I get a few cousins to that species every year right outside my front door.

I was walking my dog a couple of weeks ago and we left the path and went through the woods. I ran face-first into one of these. I'll admit, there was a few seconds of freak-out.

Right into one??? Oi, I may like to watch them up close, but an unexpected spider to the face and I'd have a more than a few seconds of freak-out! Hahaha

I was worried for quite some time that he was crawling on my shirt or hat somewhere.

I think we have its cozen in Africa called the "Golden Orb". What happens here is, you would ride on the back of a pickup and the spider tends to sin her web just the right hit in between to small trees across a dust road and WHAM in your face. Get your freek on...

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...
