Frogs
 
About this time every year we get a load of little frogs (could be toads) stuck in our back garden. There are steps down to our back door from the garden and it's a blocked off area where once a frog gets stuck it can't get out.

Last year one of the little hoppers got a bit frisky and hopped into our kitchen when the door opened - obviousy it had decided that it couldn't get up the steps so was going to try a different route. Anyway, I probably frightened it so it hopped under the dishwasher and ended up being stuck there for a few days till it got up the nerve to hop out when I caught it and evicted it.

Tonight when we got back from our day trip we found the biggest frog ever (well compared to other ones that have got trapped) in the back but by the time we'd settled in the house and I'd popped back out it had disappeared - hope it's not hopped into the house.

Hey, funny you should say that .. Monday, after picking grandaughter up from 'Prom' was a huge frog/toad on my doorstep, haven't seen one as big for years, usually only the tiny ones you have mentioned.

Anything going on, you reckon ?

My lovely little youngest has a mad obsession with collecting frogs. Little known to me she'd brought one into the house. Oblivious to my uninvited guest I'd sent her to bed and was sat quietly watching TV, when, from under the TV unit out pops the biggest ugliest frog ever. I nearly crapped in my pants and screamed so loud for her to get her backside downstairs and get it out! :rolleyes: Little sod lol!

YES!!! :o Met my match, thrown in the towel and accepted defeat!

Most scary thing is, those than know her say she's a mini-me, I don't know whether that's good or bad! :rolleyes:

My neice has just released a whole load of frogs into my Mum's pond.

Hopefully they won't all jump through the hedge and be a plague of Biblical proportions for Gayle's Mum and Dad.:eek: :D
