thick, wet, squishy slugs
When it comes to the creepy crawlys, I’m fairly cool about most of them. Small bugs don’t really bother me. Bigger ones sometimes do. When women at work are scared of a bug, they usually come to me to kill it.
This weekend, Petey was outside using the bathroom, and he started lifting his front paw in the air. What was he doing? I brought him inside and he kept trying to bite at something. I reached under him and felt something wet and squishy.
I jumped back. WHAT THE FUCK???
It was a big, fat, juicy slug hanging from his fur. Just dangling there.
Slugs don’t usually bother me, but this one did because I knew I was going to have to reach down there and pull it off Petey’s fur. I grabbed a paper towel and went for it. Petey was moving a lot, and that didn’t help.
The slug fell off and landed on the kitchen floor. There it was, just relaxing on the floor.
I turned into a monkey. I was making all kinds of sounds, jumping around. I did NOT want to pick this slug up. And I had touched it. Blehhhh.
So I reached down with the towel and picked it up. I could feel how thick and squishy the slug was through the paper towel. Yuck. I ran over to the bathroom and flushed it.
This was not my proudest moment.

Ewww… yuck! Poor Petey!
You did well
Most things I’m OK with too but when you add in slime…. nasty!
Poor slug. You flushed him down the toilet…
lol funny and sad story….. sad for the slug
Hope you are doing well buddy
Two words: salt shaker.
Of course the mess to clean up afterwards is much, much worse.
I’d be squirming too, if I had a slug dangling from me.
And I note with approval your bold use of expressive language.
You’re just so Maaan.
Sigh…
Ewwww…yeah not a big slug fan here either.
My worse fear other than dealing with the horrific spider species, are centipedes/millipedes. I had one crawl on my naked foot when I was getting into the shower several years ago. Talk about screaming
mm Yeah Kinda nasty but I don’t know what I would do. I guess I would be as you call it a “monkey” and dance around while trying to pick it up. But then I wouldn’t have a dog…

Oh Nathan, you butch man you.
I must say that any slimy creature that tries to live on my dog must die. I would not pick up a slug with bare hands either and I had to deal with a lot of gross stuff when I worked at the zoo!
Move to Oregon, my friend. They’ll be your best friends….they’re everywhere! Icky and gross.
Eww eww eww eww eww!!! :S
