In memory of BFF

Well, the summer heat got the best of BFF...he croaked!!! No really...he croaked..not the froggy kind of way but the terrible
"your're the worst Mommy in the world, you kill everything"
kind of way. I thought BFF would enjoy spending some time outside. I felt awful, especially because a few hours before we found the beta fish dead too.........which of course was my fault...

In loving memory of BFF (BullFrog Forever). May 2008-June 2009. BFF joined us as a slimy, dark green tailed tadpole in the late spring of 2008. He went through all the phases of a bullfrog from a poliwog to a froglet which consumed crickets. He was blessed by Father Daily at St. Michael's Catholic Church in the fall of 08. He enjoyed spending time under his rock and appreciated water changes so he could exercise by hopping around the kitchen floor dodging the bulldog. Recently, BFF moved to a new habitat in which he lived his last few weeks happy. In lieu of lily pads, please consider attending the Adoption Appreciation Night at the Columbus Zoo on June 24th in order to adopt an amphibian in honor of BFF. See site below:

We are trying again with three tadpoles, B, F & F, their names in honor of our cute little bullfrog that the kids will never ever let me forget.
