Travels and Cute Animals...

I eventually discovered that the tiny frog was a Spring Peeper, which are found in the eastern portion of the country. I'm thinking the little frog you saw was probably a Western Chorus frog.

This a friend who came to visit me in Mazatlan when I was out by the pool.

@Marathoner The whole chorus lives in the front yard! LOL!

Dog selfies are a thing. I didn't know that until, on a whim, I searched online using the words "dog selfies."

If you're bored, some folks have shared genuine dog selfies that are hilarious. Worth checking out.

I had some time on my hands today. Not that much time.What about the racoons selfies? They should be represented. And cats? No cat selfies?

The wind was just howling so I don't know if he was SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEing or not.  But he was a little guy about 2 -3 inches.  I remember as a little girl about 5 years old I would have a bath at grandma's house in her pink tub and every once in a while a little green frog would be sitting on the spout and then disappeared into the little hole next to the spout.  I don't think I told grandma because I liked the little guy and was fearful she would catch him or something.  She probably knew all about him. 

My great grandmother lived in a rickety old house in the country. Once when I was younger I went there to spend the night. I went into the bathroom to draw water for a bath and just happened to see a scorpion in the bath tub. After she removed the scorpion, it was one of the fastest baths I ever took wary there might be another one...surely that one wasn't the only one.

I probably wouldn't be a very interesting subject so far as travel. My beginnings were the deep southern US. My mother was not a southerner. My dad lived in the south so this is where I was brought up. I left there pretty quickly for the north east US when I was old enough.

I had thought it might be interesting to travel. My wife and I have traveled abroad some. I guess I'm pretty content to be where I am and see no need to go anywhere else at this point.

Not sure how this all ties into animals? I have my two Yorkies. I would not trade them for any other pet. They are the perfect size and temperament to have as pets.

This was taken today as they napped.I'll show a pic after their hair cuts tomorrow.

 

adorable!

During a really bad storm one night this little guy paid a visit to our sliding glass door.  "Let me in! Please?"

My wife and I find them, the really lime green ones, usually in our hall bathroom, in or near the commode.
They must have the ability to sense water. We had one in our hall bath we just could not find for days.

They will let loose with a croak that sounds coming from a big one, but are only 2-3 inches.
I catch them hanging on the doors upon entering the house, and assume they jump off when opened.
If not, don't see how they could travel through the earth into the septic lines, the tank, P-trap, and plumbing pipes.

When I finally catch one, they feel wet, and ice cold. They're very fast and agile.
My wife has started to look first now when lifting the lid............
