Shelob the Departed


In memory of the furry arachnid recently dwelling upon the boy's room dresser: Surely there are many folks celebrating her departure, but in the Barlow home more than one young-man-at-heart has shed a tear. Joshua's five-year old hands were never meant to handle the cage of the beast. The three foot fall was too much for the little fanged darling to survive. We(some of us more than others) will miss shelob the tarantula.

Sorry about your spider. It is hard to loose a pet even if they are a little creepy.
