They are cute - there's a couple big bullfrog types, too.<br /><br />Every year we try to be so valliant...and save the eggs in the lizard cages he has - but there are way too many many tadpoles to do it properly. The only way to do to it properly is to drop them off at someone's lake....which we've done that a few times. I always feel so bad - I mean, they don't deserve to die. Frogs are good - they eat mosquitos and stuff.Mariann Simmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974827167853824792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24144743.post-50616860521427662582012-04-24T08:17:20.905-05:002012-04-24T08:17:20.905-05:00Thank you - I think.

Then we only drain the pool anyway - because I'm not going to swim in something where something was half-rotting away all winter. Blech. Plus I'm always worried the cats will get under it and end up like the other "unfortunates".Mariann Simmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974827167853824792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24144743.post-2216743556417249232012-04-24T07:36:02.697-05:002012-04-24T07:36:02.697-05:00Ewwwww.
