This Is Why We Can't Get a Dog - Part II

You'll never guess what we have in our house right now.

I'll give you a hint.
It's not a frog.
And it's not two frogs.

OK, give up?
...

It's three frogs.

Thrilling, huh?
(Some of us are far more thrilled than others.)
Their names are: Fred (yep, Fred. I'm so full of surprises tonight.), Squeaky (this frog squeaks like a squeak toy. It's actually quite endearing), and Trampoline. (As in... trampoline.)

They smell bad.
And they live in my bathroom.

Anyway, remember a year ago, when I posted about why we can't get a dog?

Well, here we go again.
(Except this time, we're practicing on frogs and not fish...)

Reason #1:

This face.
This is the face Brooklyn makes when her frog gets lost in her closet.
Not. cool.

Reason #2:
Aubrey woke me up the morning after we got them by calmly explaining that, "Mom, we only have 2 frogs now."
"WHAT!?!"
"Well, one got lost under the kitchen."
The kitchen = the oven.
We had to move the fridge and the oven out to get him.


Reason #3:
They are making Aubrey a little crazy.
It took me 15 minutes to talk her into letting us take them outside to play on the grass.
Her concerns were:
- the frog will hop into the road and get run over by a car.
-the frog will get eaten by a dog.
-the frog will get eaten by a bird.
-the frog will fall down a hole.
-the frog will hop under a rock and get squished.
-the frog will run away from us.
-the frog will get eaten by a cricket. (she's a little confused...)

Reason #4:
Reason #5:
Reason #6:
Reason #7:


At least someone is having fun.



Lots, and lots of fun.
