Save The Frogs
Woof Bloggers,
One thing Mom loves about Spring, besides the flowers ad greeness, is the sound. All day long we hear the birds singing but in the early morning we hear the turkeys that live behind our fence. Mom says before the fence was built they used to wander thru the yard and even chased the neighbor's cat. In the evening we hear the big old barred owl that lives in the trees behind us. He makes lots of noises and some of them are pretty scary. When he starts yelling we stay close to Mom and Dad. Lately we've had lots of rain so we hear the frogs and toads singing at night. Mom loves froggies and has a huge collection of frog stuff made of glass, metal, cloth, etc.
Yesterday was Save The Frogs Day, but everyday should be. Frogs are important to us. They eat tons of bad bugs that would make us all miserable. We have a little toad house in the yard right near these two toad stools. We started getting so many frogs and toads in the yard that Dad put a big wooden box near the fence and when he lifts the top he sees lots of toads snuggled inside waiting for night when they can go hunting. Mom leaves the back light on for them. It attracts the bugs and makes it easier for the toads to catch them. She tells us to leave the toads and froggies alone.
We do chase lizards. Morgan was a champ at catching them and she used to swallow them alive. Mom didn't approve and managed to get a couple of them away from her but Morgan was really fast. Syd has caught several lizards. She plays with them, then rolls on them. I've been trying but I haven't been able to catch one. Those little guys are quick. Mom say I'm way too slow to catch one but I know I can.
Today I spotted one on the rocks. He went right over there.
I know you're in there.
If I can just stuff my snooter in a couple more inches....
He got away. Next time I'm going to catch that lizard.
Keep wagging,
Mackey

We haven't had rain in a long time, so our froggies are silent. Would love to hear them again. We're too slow to catch the little skinks that skitter over our brick walls. They are very quick.
We have frogs or toads, I'm not sure which. Thatcher caught one in the porch a while back, and Patrick made him spit it out. The little guy hopped away, and Thatcher was very disappointed. But we like frogs and toads, too, so we're making Thatcher stick to chasing those squirrels and chipmunks that just hang around here. The noise outside, especially at night, is amazing!
Be careful if you catch one. They will upset your stomach right quick
