BRRRR
this morning (heh. 10-ish) i finally got out of bed and immediately went to my desk. i'm sure you all know what's going on weather-wise around here. a perfect day to hibernate.
freddie (my almost 7-YEAR-OLD aqua babies frog) was nowhere to be seen in his tank. i assumed he was hiding inside the snail shell as he sometimes does. i make a lot of assumptions. in my own defense, there are two reasons for this. one: i need to because information is not readily revealed. two: i'm mostly right.
i said to bill, "what did you do to freddie's tree?" the "tree" in freddie's tank was "uprooted" -- the base pulled out from under the anchoring of stones. if jax were here, i'd blame it on him. bill said, like always, "i didn't touch anything." whatever. so i kept looking for freddie, turned the tank around, and this is what i see.
holy crap, that is one determined frog. never mind the fact that he must be like 867 years old in aqua babies frog years. he freaking dug the base out from under the stones so he could hide underneath. unless bill helped.
he must be aware in some dim recess of his aqua babies frog brain that the weather outside is frightful (for frogs). this is his view to the outside world.
Maybe you should put a wool blanet in the corner for Freddie? ;-)

Really good to read your entry.
