   A friend who lives in Melbourne sent me a picture of a huntsman spider. I’m never visiting.

   We used to call Albert’s treats snackies and the pill pocket with his medication his “special snackie”. Eventually he learned the word “snackie” and would start begging (he had to sit down and raise one paw to get a treat) if he heard us say it, so we started calling treats “sandwiches”.

   I suspect that’s the case. He has always been affectionate with our neighbor and her grandson. They were able to pet him and she could clean his eyes. He’s tolerant of me — which meant that when I would put food in his dish, he would bap my hand, but kept his claws in.

   We’ve been increasingly worried about Lord Julius, the surviving backyard feral, as we’ve been seeing coyotes on the outdoor cameras. Well, a couple of weeks ago our neighbor went out to feed him and he walked into the house! She decided to foster him for a while to see if she could socialize him and then see about getting him adopted.

   We miss seeing him in our yard, but are so glad he’s safe. We went to visit him last week and he let me pet him! (albeit with gloves on, just in case). He’s got his own room, but was mostly staying hunkered down in a cost little nest on the bed.

   The next night though, our neighbor said he seemed under the weather and asked Albert’s Man if we could call our vet. Since it would probably be a while to get an appointment, he insisted on taking Julius to the ER (after Albert, he tends to be overly cautious). They diagnosed him with an upper respiratory infection (and FIV) and sent him home with antibiotics. I’m pleased to say he’s back to his feisty self.
