Okay, being a little bit dramatic, but she pretty much did.
So let me first say that I have this habit of speaking to my dogs in full sentences and plain english A LOT. It's just a habit. I explain a lot of things to them throughout the day. I know... quite strange. anyways...I honestly think Mia picks up more on that than I really would expect. (as seen here: http://www.chazhound.com/forums/t136320/)
Anyways...
I was trying to go to sleep just a minute ago. I was kind of dozing in and out when I opened my eye just a bit to see something very large and spider like shuffling across my pillow and vanishing. I yelped and jumped up. I'm not really SCARED of spiders, but I don't like them crawling on me or in my bed.
And of course Mia and Summer are looking at me like "WTF is your problem?" since I'd practically thrown them off the bed.
So like the sane person I am, I felt like I had to explain to them what was going on.... So I told Mia "There was a butterfly on my pillow." and I pointed to my pillow. Now... 'butterfly' has always been the word I've used for any kind of bug. Very first day I took Mia home she caught a butterfly. She loves catching bugs. when she caught a bug or was going after the bug she seemed to connect the word 'butterfly' to there being a bug SOMEWHERE. Anyways, I tell her there was a butterfly on my pillow and I began frantically looking for the spider that I knew was somewhere in my bed. Mia perked up, and also began frantically looking for the 'butterfly'. I can't find it but Mia does pretty quick. Let me just say she disposed of it... kind of disturbing that part. But at least I now know the spider isn't still in my bed, right?
And now I probably sound completely and 100% insane. :lol-sign:
