I have a wonderful little dog, PJ. PJ is a pug. I did a little research on pugs before I got her, and found out that pugs, in general, are very playful and surprising dogs!! Over the last two years, I have seen many sides to PJ's playful personality. But today I saw a superhero quality!!
I was out watering the flowers and plants, and over in one part of the yard were three barrels of greenery. PJ was outside with me, 'helping' me water. As I was watering one of the barrels, a large host of Daddy Long Leg spiders came spewing forth out of the barrel. Now, I know that Daddy Long Legs are not harmful to me, and out of all spiders, they scare me the least. But, having a fearful nature when it comes to creepy crawlies, I screamed anyways and jumped back. PJ looked up at me and then at the spiders and started growling at them!! I was touched. Never before had Pj shown any kind of protective quality when it has come to me and my husband. Then to my utter astonishment, PJ walks non-chalantly over to the barrel and starts snapping up the spiders one by one. PJ would get one in her mouth, shake it around and then spit it out, dead, on the ground. She would check that it didn't move before she went on to the next victim. What a dog!!!
