Today, I saw a spider in my bathtub, so instead of killing it, i decided to bring my dog inside the bathroom to kill the spider for me. Turns out that the spider was a black widow, and my dog was bit. The dog killed the spider. The spider killed my dog. FML

Today, I learned that my big, tough, strong dog is terrified of spiders when he jumped, knocked over a table, and then peed on the spider to drown it. FML
Today, I tried to have a relaxing soak in the tub. The giant wolf spider that was already in the tub didn't like me trying to set it free outside. It ran right across my feet and back into my house when I dumped it out of a cup outside. I screamed like a little girl. FML
Today, I saw a huge wolf spider in my room. It ran off and hid before I could kill it, but after two hours looking for it then giving up, I finally found it, with my foot, as I put on my shoes. FML
Today, I saw a spider crawling on the floor but had nothing to kill it with and it hid somewhere. So, I got dressed and went out and come home for a shower, and as I'm taking off my undies, something crushed and black fell out. It was the spider and he had been in my underwear the entire day. FML
Today, we found a tarantula type spider in our shed so big it could only have been someone’s escaped pet. This thing was so big, even my husband said, "NOPE!" In the end, we used our neighbour's crossbow to kill, it because I think it grew that big by eating dogs and small horses. FML
Today, I found a big spider on my wall. I have arachnophobia, and I was trying to kill it with my shoe. I pulled back and hit myself in the face, causing me to fall backwards. The spider is still alive somewhere in my house. FML
Today, I found the same spider which I had let live yesterday hidden in my bath towel. I didn't find it until it was smeared on my face. FML
Today, I asked my husband to deal with the very large spider in our kitchen. Rather than a newspaper or a slipper, he went after it with an aerosol can and a lighter. The spider is now dead, but so are the wall and cupboards in my kitchen. FML
Today, I saw a big, black spider on the floor of my bathroom. I promptly jumped up on the toilet seat, slipped off, and slammed my head against the wall. The best part? It was a tuft of my hair. FML
Today, I spotted a huge spider in my bedroom. I freaked out at first, but I managed to confront my arachnophobia and killed it with a book. I was ecstatic and went to tell my boyfriend. By the time I returned to my room, the "dead" spider had vanished. Now I'm too scared to sleep. FML

I wonder how many idiots here don't realize that the famous black widow with the big butt and red mark on it is only ONE gender. Give people a little knowledge, they think they're the tops, seriously...

# 88 "if he/she had ANY common sense would take the dog to a vet or animal hospital, at which time the dog would have gotten an antidote" Clearly this person doesn't have common sense. FYI for anyone afraid of spiders. The best way to kill them without actually touching them is to spray them with some sort of household cleaner (that won't stain your walls). It'll curl up and die, and then you can clean it up with tissue

While, usually my comments are filled with sarcasm and anger, this one is different. That is truly terrible and I'm sorry for your loss. There's not much else to say, except that if it was a cat, I would feel bad for the spider who did a good deed to the world.

From what I understand, not all black widows have the red hour glass or a distinctive one. And as someone who really hates spiders, I wouldn't get close enough to try to tell. But really, the OP should have just turned the water on full blast or something instead of sending the dog in right off the bat.

for all the people that said "better dog than the person," you should know that while black widow bites are highly venomous, it is very unlikely that a healthy adult will die from the bite.

=[ I'm so sorry, that's terrible. I wouldn't have recognized it either, to be honest. Guess I know not to make my cats kill things for me anymore...

the spider didn't kill your dog... you killed your dog you are cruel and lazy

I dont know what kind of drain the OP has...but a black widow could not fit inside any of the small holes that make up mine, and if it did it would be stopped by the trap, which is just incase you drop something down there.
