McLoofus 35,182 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 @ShocksMyBrain, don't worry, it's been years. But she was one of a kind. You should see the memorial I posted for her on FB. Could count on one hand the number of times I've cried like that since my age hit double digits. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,366 Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 Yo this frog is some kind of stupid. Pulled him out of the pool twice this week. I have no doubt it’s the same one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe chlorine gives frogs a good buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That it is. A relatively easy 25-30 minute hike from the parking lot will gain one access to this particular grove of old growth trees. Mostly yellow poplar, some of the trees are estimated at well over 400 years old. Massive, old living things impress me greatly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Refuge 6,664 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 From JKMF, we drove along through the Nantahala NF to reach the Fontana Dam. Tallest dam(480’) east of the Rockies. Impressive structure. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those silent profiles are the best. Here is one I took at my daughters' recital of my father in law walking out with my youngest. Not the best shot. Took it on the move with the phone quickly. Sentiment is the same though. Love this thread btw. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,366 Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) This guy really needs to get his s*** together. Smoking saves frogs lives apparently. This makes 3 of 4 times I’ve heard him jump in. The only other time I heard him was during a thunderstorm, and I’m not about to carry around a metal pole in an effort to save an amphibian’s life. Next time I’m tossing him an adjacent backyard. Edited June 19, 2018 by ShocksMyBrain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those rubber mats they use to cover Dispose-alls would make for a serviceable, chlorine-resistent lily pad. Keep his/her thimble full of beer. That "warts" thing is a myth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike4AU 1,739 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Your pet probably has more things on his mind than just swimming. Probably looking forward to amplexus. You may be denying him a fruitful moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
