Well, this to some people may be quite uninteresting, but I think the following quite made my day. ^_^

Yesterday, it was raining a lot, so I thought I'd move my tree frog tank indoors, so their water level wouldn't go up much, and so they wouldn't drown/feel unhappy. I then fed them, and they looked quite happy (although Little Frog looks littler everyday!)

Today, I went to look at them - and all of a sudden Big Frog opened its mouth and let several deafening croaks! They were so loud - but I am really happy that my frogs should finally start croaking! Cheesy

And the cherry on top was that when the Sun came out today, I found a locust sitting in the patio - and it is a locust I had been looking after in my patinillo since August! I was really happy to see him still alive, although he looked a bit soggy, feeble, and found it hard to stand up, so I let him sit on a plantpot and eat. I don't think he has much longer to live - but he has lived a nice long life. =D  Shocked

Ah, Spiffy, your story made me smile. =)

It is always nice to treasure the little things throughout the day, because sometimes they're the most meaningful.

Did I miss the story with the frogs? Did you rescue them from somewhere or something? Why wouldn't they be croaking?

Oh! Yes, the story behind the frogs:

About 8 months ago, in May, our science teacher brought an ugly little pot to class, and inside she had about 5 tadpoles, a small frog, and some dead specimens, and she was showing us what frogs looked like. By the end of the week, only three little guys were left, so I asked her if she had any intention in keeping them, because if she didn't I would be very happy to look after them. Smiley She said I could get them after school, so when I got back from the sports centre, I took the stinky pot home. I thought I would buy them a more respectable home, so I fixed them up with a tank, and a sponge and whatnot, and set them free in my new tank - and the tadpoles all became frogs. ^_^ Then one day, one of the frogs disappeared, so I suspect it got eaten by another. Until today, there have been two frogs, one noticeably bigger than the other, and they haven't died yet. Smiley They are the "Lab frogs". I am so excited about the croaking because I had always wanted them to croak, and they had never done so before, so it was quite exciting.

When I went on holiday to Cádiz, I brought back three seperate tadpoles and a frog, but the frog ate the tadpoles, and then he died.  Cry Cry Cry Cry

That is my "Pet Blog", where I keep some news about my pets.

After a lot of searching, I found this in my blog, which is the exact entry where I wrote about getting the frogs (bottom of the entry). The first bit is the vistory of Seville winning the UEFA. ^_^ I prefer Betis, but that was good nonetheless.

How heroic! You saved them! Good for you.

I compulsively visit pet shelter websites looking at all the animals who need homes... I want to take care of one so badly, but I'm so new at living on my own, I can barely take care of myself! Once I get the hang of living alone in the city, it is going to be Cat Time. Until then, I will surround myself with pixelated pets.  Cheesy

I used to have two little frogs in my fish tank. But they never croaked because they are realllly small and are uneerwater frogs. They need a lot of water. I also have other asorted fish in that tank. I like the fish but I love my dog and cat most. My dog is 4 years old and my cat is 20!! she is very old, even older then me. She is still very healthy though and going strong. She is so cute and so is the dog Cheesy
