I got two new furry pets. One is a cute kitten. She is now named Arwen (after one of Tolkien's elves), and enjoys being finger-fed. She is not very expert at accepting finger-feeding though, and often bites the hand that feeds her.

The other furry pet has been lovingly named Shelob. It is a tarantula, and was captured two days ago. So far, it has been enjoying meals of crickets and two-inch meal worms. Shelob should survive a year or more, enough for it to be a demonstration at biology class. I have not petted Shelob yet.
