I've had cats or dogs or hamsters, most the entire I was a kid, dare say I get along and understand pets more than I do the owners. Being an entreprenuer means certain sacrifices have to be made. One of mine has been having pets

I don't mean to be a nitpicker, but insects and arachnids are not in the same family...

Spiders are cool, though I prefer them to be outside (plenty of tasty bug-prey resides near my compost pot).

One of my friends used to have a giant African millipede as a pet!

Yay for compost pot!

Cool that Millipeads like decaying matter and live 7-10 years! I have a habit of not finishing all the fruit and veggies I buy before they start to wilt, maybe I should get some mllipeads to finish them up!

I had a pet spider in Hawaii. It lived on a house plant for almost six months. I found it's sad little body, expired in the dirt. In a way it was giving back to it's home. It, to my knowledge, never left the plant.
