What if we made the legs even longer??
"Why?"
To reach bugs on an upper shelf?

Good morning. 🕸️🕷️👻

29 October 2025

Suddenly, the light dims—then brightens again. Not a flicker, exactly, more like a slow, deliberate pulse. Something feels off. I get that prickly sensation, like I'm being watched, and the hairs on the back of my neck rise in alarm. I scan the room. Nothing there. Or at least, nothing visible.

Still, the feeling lingers. Then I spot Charlie, curled up in the corner, eyes locked on me, tracking my every move. I exhale. That’s the thing about dogs—they’re always watching, always present. And somehow, that makes it okay.

People say dogs can see things we can’t. Spirits, maybe. I don’t buy into ghosts and the supernatural, but I keep an open mind. Hmm… are ghosts and spirits the same? Or is it like vampires and zombies—both undead, but with different appetites. Vampires suck blood, zombies eat brains. I’m getting off track.

If you’ve got a dog, you’ve probably seen it: you’re sitting at home, and suddenly your dog is staring—ears perked, body alert—at something you can’t see. It sends a shiver up your spine as you ask, “What are you looking at?” And if they growl? Bonus shivers.

Charlie does this all the time. Usually through the kitchen, toward the garage. He hears cars pass the driveway, waiting to see if someone’s arriving. I think. But maybe… it’s something else. 👻

"Many cultures historically associate dogs with spiritual realms, viewing them as protectors or guides for souls.” — BrainWiseMind

“Ghosts aren’t physical phenomena to be picked up by the senses. So some form of non-sensory perception would be needed to perceive a ghost… Dogs and cats—and likely most animals—are psychic, just like humans.” - Loyd Auerbach, parapsychologist

“Maybe, instead of seeing something spooky, they are orienting their heads to smells and sounds to help them perceive these stimuli better." - Ellen Furlong, psychology professor at Transylvania University

Heute hat mich an der Hauswand dieser freundliche Geselle begrüßt: ein Streckfuß (Dicranopalpus ramosus).
Besonders auffällig neben der namensgebenden Haltung der Beine sind die geteilten Pedipalpen. Habe ich so zum ersten Mal gesehen. 🤩

#KleineDinge ganz groß:

Zierliche, temporäre Mitbewohnerin
in ihrem kaum sichtbaren #Netz mit
schickem #Schatten...

Aus Gewohnheit sage ich #Weberknecht,
obwohl es wohl #Zitterspinne heißen
müsste. Die #Spinnen scheint es aber
eher nicht zu stören... 😁

Wen aber #Spinnen im #Keller stören,
kann sich ja mal fragen, 🤔
was genau die da eigentlich fressen 😁?

Schönen Abend allerseits!
