Have been having some late evening visitors to the shop, so I hired a guard frog.  Hangs out in the front and keeps an eye on the place.  Croaks when it starts to rain, and splashes when a stranger comes up.  I know, not real effective, but he is cheap, and easy to feed, I don't


I gues the second part of the post is, any of you yankee's know what the frog pond is?

No, but I do know the difference between a frog and a duck.   :D

Don't attribute irritating behavior to malevolence when mere stupidity will suffice as an explanation.

I ain't authorized to guess, cause I ain't a Yankee.  Besides, I know perzackly what it is and I got a perfect place to set it.  Got all the other stuff to go with it, too. ;D

I found a frog out by the barn the other day. Little fella was all shriveled up from the drought going on round here for some time now. Anyway, I picked up the poor thing and dropped him in the water trough so he could have him a swim. Now what I hadn't figured on was that it ain't rained in so long, this full growed frog drowned cause he didn't know how to swim!
Yep, I know what your frog pond is, and like DanG, I have some parts also.
Just cause your head's pointed, don't mean you are sharp.

Now how did the lid off my DanG barbeque end up in Texas? I wondered what had happened to it. :D :D :D Toto, we are definately not in Kansas anymore.

I haven't seen a leopard frog in years. I think with all the farm sprays we killed most of'em off, but not intensionally.  :'(

We have a few woodland frogs though. This spring was good for frogs because of the rain and warmth, but I didn't here them much.
