Well, the frog's dead.


I don't think he liked living in captivity - I did an internet search of things they eat or how to take care of them - apparently worms is a yummy treat - so we fed the critter worms - he ate them up like they were his last meal. They he started getting lathargic after a few days - maybe he didn't get enough worms - we gave him like 20 a day....? Anyway - so I dug a little area where the tomato plants grew so he could see that he was no longer in a mesh bag - that he was out in the open - and I threw a few worms in his face, and - well, came back to check on him this morning - and - his skeletal remains were left after being ravaged by ants. eek - did you know Frogs have ribs? wierd. Anyway - just for the fun of it - I checked our skimmer basket again - and a newer, LARGER frog was trying to stay alive - I put him by the side of the pool facing out - away from the pool. He's gone. I didn't have the heart to kill him off the way we did the other. Howie isn't even bothered by it. glad.

Look at Howie - isn't he just so proud to have a pet?

Remember the good times - Misty was a good hopper. Samantha would have enjoyed it.

Just for Crysty

Cause you're the only one that reads it - not like I advertize my site, but still, I saw it on your favorites and got a little misty. By "misty" I mean to say as I was cleaning out the pool from it's 2 weeks of disuse and storm water retention, in the skimmer I found a little frog...or toad, who knows - anyway - we named it misty. So once I saw my blog on your favorites, I got a little frog - or toad - I prolly need to figure out how to feed it. Howie loves him or her - sometimes he even calls her "ribbit," only cause he can't remember "misty" He did call her (or him?) "frog" for lack of a more vivid imagination.

I don't have issues...I have the whole subscription.
