Oh wow - cool!
I remember decades ago, one evening I found my cats grouped round the phone table in the hall (erm remember the phone table in the hall you oldies lol?)
Behind the table was something, screaming loudly.
I, very carefully, investigated the something. Judging by the volume of sound it was making it had to be a large rat at least!
Drew the table away from the wall ...a frog. A frog not 3cm long??
A FROG???
Froggy was refreshed in the fishtank and released ...
I mean, they're cute beasties, sitting in swamps and going ribbit?
Frogs can be a bit unexpected lol! |

| Awww sweet little froggie. I do have a soft spot for frogs, always had them in the garden, we had a large pond so I was always rescuing them and bringing them home. |

I've got two ponds in my garden, the one is full of newts, it's like the newt Bronx, nothing else dare live in there...
The other has a fish I found that had survived 8 ducks, their pollution (when using the other pond years ago) water like the trenches in the Somme, and a good few winters of 3-4 inch ice.
He's the landlord, and his tennants are hundreds of frogs, who jump around winding up the dog and making me think I'm going mad when I see movement out of the corner of my eye, only to turn round and see nothing, immediately anyway. |

Aww, bless 'im : 3
Yeah, a screeming Frog is something else 0_0! I remember when one of our cats brought one in and there's me and my mam sitting in the living room when all of a sudden there's this loud screem! Well, we looked at eachother and didn't know what to think X ) In the end I got up and walked carefully into the hallway, fully ready to belt it! And there's this poor little frog screeming and trying to get away from naughty Mitzy. Poor little bugger, it was so scared. I picked it up and calmed it down and took it back home. It was the middle of the night and home was a naighbours back garden pond so what they must have been thinking!
Anyways, Laws, Frogs and newts are amphibians, not reptiles, so you should be safe ; ) |
Just me and my zoo. |

Was talking to someone at work today about the worst things we've 'encountered' whilst using a Stihl brush cutter....
Guess what ranked a close second after fox poo??...

You know, you can always tell when it's fox crap, because it's pointed at both ends.
Not many people know that... |

OR, "you can always tell when it's fox crap, because when you were strimming the lawn and it splashed all over your face, including lips, you realised this was a part of the garden the dog can't get into, and where the nasty fox with mange rolls around on sunny days"
I washed my face with a hose pipe, spitting and screwing my eyes up. Yes, the neighbours were showing some friends their garden plants just over the fence. LOL! |
