Ribbet....Ribbet

So Dino the lizard is no more. He died. In case you don't remember, Mark chopped his tail off with the weed whacker last summer. He was an alligator lizard, native to WA state. Paige rescued him and then her and Mark went to petsmart and spent over $70 on a stupid habitat etc for the damn thing. He lived a great life. Crickets...lovely habitat etc. Paige wasn't too sad when he died. As she said "He lived a good life mama. If he'd been left outside a bird would have eaten him so he lived a lot longer than he normally would have'. Good attitude I guess!

Well...a few weeks ago, Paige (our animal kid!) found a big old tree toad and put him in the habitat with Dino ( I kind of wonder if this didn't kill Dino). She named this ugly old toad "Wembley'. Cute name...ugly frog. This week, she found two tiny frogs. In the house they came and into the habitat they went (at least it's not going to waste!). They were quickly dubbed "Hopper" and "Peeps". Cute names, cute frogs!

Tonight we looked into the habitat and Hopper was sitting on Wembleys head who was sitting in the water area. Apparently they are good friends now!

So, along with the bird, two cats, and hamster, we now have three frogs.

Lucky me.

Hugs
Jaye
