i had never seen a black widow before i moved to SC... but as soon as i saw one, i knew what it was... it's not that hard to recognize a black widow the first time... however, i am sorry that you're dog died...

I have a hard time believing this since death as a result to black widow bites are extremely rare. If you're dog was very young or very sick, then maybe...and you should have immediately taken the dog to the vet at the fist symptom of something being wrong. And if that was the case, then you had no business putting the animal at risk when you could have easily flushed the spider down the drain or killed it with a shoe. Even if this OP didn't know that it was a black widow, I find it useful to treat all spiders as a potential risk and dispose of them all the same way.

#148 You are SO welcome! Thank YOU for providing comic relief with your pointless comment!

aww im so sorry about that :(

The dog is braver than you. Maybe dumber, but braver. I feel sorry for the dog. D; I hope you now give a big check to the government to create an organization that protects the dogs against black widows.

And if the dog found the spider first, it'd still be dead. OP, use my method: cover the spider with a bowl, boil water, uncover and pour! They shrivel up and die. It's my most effective method, as hammers tend to leave holes..

You're a ******* idiot. Turn the water on, you dumbass. YOU killed your dog, not the spider. This post should've read "Today, I killed my dog with a black widow because I have no ******* brain. FML"

ugh..wow

Better the dog died, than you. Consider yourself lucky, and be glad you're alive.

you suck. pansie
