It all began three years ago when Winston, my first barking spider, decided to take up residence in my home office. At first, I blamed the mysterious sounds on my building's questionable plumbing. It took two plumbers, one HVAC technician, and an embarrassing number of "excuse me" moments during video calls before I discovered the true source.
Instead of evicting my vocal tenant, I became fascinated by these misunderstood arachnids. One spider led to two, then three, and well... you know how these things go. Now I'm the proud parent of five barking spiders, each with their own unique personality and acoustic signature.
I should mention that I did a lot of research before officially adopting more spiders. The information on certain educational sites was incredibly helpful, though some of the "scientific" terminology had me giggling for days.
