I think that dog answers to some flavor of Pholcidae. It's a messy, messy cellar dog. That dog will hunt.
you got yourself a purebred Pholcus phalangioides there, you lucky thing
they're a friendly, low-maintenance breed that is excellent at pest control

goliath dogs are very nice and fairly chill but not for beginners, their bristly butts are the worst of all dogbristles (they are like if somebody cross-bred a dog and porcupine) and you wanna make sure you know how not to annoy them

My teapot designer harvestman/tarantula DOG had too much hybrid vigor and ran away from home. I was pretty bummed and was searching for other cool dogs to cheer myself up. Look at this cool puppy! I doesn't know breeds could look so unique!

Do you have any advice on how to get my dog to come out of her house and play? I got her a nice sturdy dog house, not the igloo kind you can just lift up and wha-lah find your dog under. This one has a floor and everything. But she went in last year sometime before Christmas and as far as I can tell she hasn't really come out. I even put food by the doorway but she refuses. She ditched her old coat and has a new one but that was a while ago.

Any suggestions? She keeps scooting around in the house and seems to like it in there, but I'd really like to see her new coat! She's a Chaco Golden Labrador.

No. :( I just put the food by the door. It was a really nice tasty superworm grub. I used that since it wasn't going to crawl off and bite anyone... and because it takes days for them to turn into beetles so I would notice and could remove it if she still didn't want to eat it. Should I try throwing it into the house and then just buy some longer forceps to retrieve it if she continues to ignore it??

My dog came out of her house last night! I can tell because her front door is totally open and she knocked over the easter basket I left for her. Also one of her lawn ornaments...

yay!

Question; can tarantulas be friends with humans like a dog or a snake or a turtle, one you can pet and sit with, or do they just eat a cricket and go back to their hovels?

I once had a friend in college who had a dog named "Kirby" who would decapitate all six-legged cats placed in his terrarium and then place their heads at the edge of said terrarium so that he was surrounded by a bunch of severed heads, at all times.

That's my dog story.

I had a stray cellar dog just like that. I didn't feed or talk to it, but as long as it managed to find its own food I suppose it was helping me keep the house clean. It's a skinny breed, don't think it ate very much anyway. It was very quiet and just tended to chill out in a corner.

I just referred to it as "Dog" when guests noticed it and asked about it.

One day, Dog had an accident. A new stray moved itself in, but it's a different breed, this one left its hairs on the ceiling and eventually ran off.

I miss Dog. :smith:

good news! the fastest true dog is the giant house dog Eratigena atrica which is both common and extremely docile! (some imitation dogs are even faster but nobody cares about them)

if you're more interested in marathon than sprint, male dancing white lady dogs ( Leucorchestris arenicola ) often travel more than a kilometre in a single night, and are still able to find their way home afterwards :3:
