My New Buddy

So my wife and I have never really been ones to kill critters that want to make our house a home too.  Now we have limits, no black widow or brown recluse spiders in the house, but if a little wolf spider want to take up a corner of our place, we may relocate him if it’s in a high traffic area, otherwise we just let them be.  We like living like that.  We don’t like spraying a ton of chemicals around and for us, it works.  It doesn’t mean that we live in like a house you’d see on the old 60’s TV sitcom, the Munsters with cobwebs everywhere and all that, it just means we aren’t quick to kill little spiders and the like.  Which brings me to this little dude, or dude’ette.  Every morning for the past almost week, when I go out the front door, here’s my little buddy just chillin’ at the bottom of the front door.  Never moving when I walk out, shut the door and even when I stopped to get some pics, not even a flinch.  Some people may be like get that away, I’m like why?  They eat other little bugs that you probably don’t want around and they are harmless.  A bit intimidating looking, but harmless.  I’m thinking about naming my new friend but I know it’s not going to be long before I won’t see this little critter anymore so, no name, just a look down every morning before I go to work and a quick prayer thanking God for so much He has created around us and how this little creature gives me a bit of joy every morning.
