Another Pet!


We have another pet. Not a dog....you know Dad's thoughts on that subject...but a frog. His name is Mr. Peepers and he lives in the fish pond. He has gotten huge since we discovered him there in the spring, and keeps the bug population under control in his little domain. Actually, he wanders (or rather, hops) around quite a bit. I have been startled to have him jump out of the nearby plants when I was weeding, and sometimes he visits the neighboring birdbath. We enjoy looking out in the evening and seeing him on the coping of the pond - during the day he often pretends he's a lily pad and hangs out in the water. A truly fun and carefree animal "friend."
