Happy Monday! Boy oh boy am I excited……..yesterday morning when Mom went outside in the dark (5AM) to walk down to the mailbox to get the Sunday paper – GUESS WHO WAS WAITING ON THE FRONT PORCH????? GUESS WHO ELSE HAD HER CAMERA READY AND WAITING?????? 😀 😀
YAY! Mom was so excited these aren’t the best photos in the world but capturing the elusive Freddy on film with him hopping around in the dark wasn’t easy. She only had the light from the porch to help her and she just guessed about how to aim the camera and snapped. Let’s hear it for Mom!
So here – without further ado – is my froggy buddy Freddy – on the sidewalk then after he hopped into the garden (I don’t think he liked the flash much!).
Now – here’s the even BIGGER surprise. When Mom was coming back from trekking down to the mailbox it was a teensy bit lighter already outside and she saw movement on the sidewalk at the opposite end from where Freddy was (near the porch). She stopped, watched and sure enough a LITTLE frog was there on the sidewalk. I’m positive it must have been Freddy Junior wondering where the heck his Dad was – this little guy looked just like big Freddy – same coloring – only little. He was right where we used to see Freddy all the time until Freddy discovered the water bowl we keep on the front porch. We now call it Freddy’s Jacuzzi since Mom found him IN the water bowl one morning having a nice soak.
Life around here is interesting isn’t it? Many of you wanted me to try to get a photo of Fred but not only did we do THAT, but we got a bonus – – – – Freddy Junior too!
Happy Monday……………… 😀 😀 😀

Hi Mollie! Well, the newspaper guy just drives down our street and sticks papers in everyone’s box – why they do it so early who knows but my Mom gets up SUPER EARLY anyway (yawn). On Sunday morning when she’s up early and after she gets the paper, we listen to classical music on the radio while Dad’s still in bed snoring…..she reads the paper and I sit on top of the comics section with my eyes closed and listen to the music. Nice. It’s “our time” !!

Hi Clover!!! Welcome to my blog! Frogs are very interesting creatures – they totally fascinate me and Mom likes to tell people that one of my favorite games is “Frog Pushing”. Sometimes Freddy is out during the day (mostly he likes dark though) – and if I run into him on the sidewalk I will sit and watch him – if he doesn’t move, I will gently touch him with my paw and he hops! I’ll scoot closer and wait….if he doesn’t move I give him another gentle touch and he’ll hop again…see? “Frog Pushing” !
Happy Monday
Your New Friend Sammy

HA! Mom couldn’t believe it when she saw Freddy sitting in the water bowl. He took up the entire thing too which was really funny. Too bad that was before she started keeping her camera handy at all times of the day! Anyway, I think because we have a garden watering/mister system the froggies like the damp mulch and lots of shrubs to hide under. Love those froggies!! 😀

Hi Terrell Crew!! Mom was so excited when she saw Freddy on the porch this morning….but Freddy Junior was a bonus. As for me chasing him – it was dark outside this morning and unless I’m on my harness I don’t get to go outside in the dark anymore. But I DO see Freddy from inside the house because of the windows on the side of the front door…..if he’s out there in the morning I tell Mom when she comes down the stairs first thing!

Oh Nellie that’s very nice of your Mom to do. We’re not entirely sure WHERE our toadies and frogs have their houses but Mom thinks it’s in the mulch AND under our front sidewalk (there are some hollow places where it’s cool). I know they are great garden helpers too so I’m glad to find out Freddy’s not on his own for “garden duty”…..he’s raising his son to take over the gardening business!!!
