OMG! I thought I had 10 months left of school today. My advisor called and I will be finished in August, minus any vacation time. That's 6 months or so. Yay!!!

I'll be styling in a new vehicle this autumn!

I need to make a little amendment here to my original post.

We actually have, amongst our 4 new frogs, two VERY big girls (Bella and Maddie) and two little fellows (Simon and Alvin)!! We thought little "Tuti" was a little girl, but we were very mistaken!!! For two nights running now, L and I have been serenaded by both Simon and little Alvin. Simon has a VERY loud baritone voice and little Alvin has a wonderful little tenor honk!!! We couldn't be happier and now Dolly has 2 boys to sing to her. Of course, Miss Bella and Miss Maddie enjoy listening to the boys, too. What a wonderful little family of frogs we have now!!!

Of course, I took him to the vet as soon as I noticed something was wrong. Unfortunately, it was too late and we had to make the decision to put him down. It about broke my heart, as I had become very attached to the little dude (his songs were the best!!!).

So, that left little Dolly a "widow". She's been moping around, climbing all over the big frog house, looking for Oskar. It was so sad. She'd turn around and just look at me, wide-eyed, as if to ask, "Where is he??". We couldn't bear it any longer..........

So off to the frog store we went!!!!! Two hours later, we're bumping over the road home with a little carton containing 4 new very surprised little frogs!!! They're adult White's Tree Frogs, and I *think* we have 3 girls. Two of the four are VERY big girls, one spritely little male (already named "Simon") and one little girl who loves to tag along with the gang. We're thinking of naming her "Tuti". They were all living in a small house together, like a little "family". We couldn't separate them, so we bought/adopted them all!!!

We're having to quarantine them before we can put them in the Big Frog House with Dolly, just to make sure everyone's healthy, and that will last about a week to 10 days. So, we have the little frog house, with all 4 new occupants, sitting beside the Big Frog House, where Dolly can sit on her ledge and look in to see her new friends and they can see her. We'll be so happy when the time comes to bring them in with Dolly to the Big Frog House. They'll have it made, as the Big Frog House has a waterfall with pond and lots of vines, plants and ledges to climb and sit on, and a new friend in Dolly.

I'm full of joy at having a new gang of little frogs again. Dolly will be elated!!!!

willow · 02-19-2014, 11:28 AM

Meeting up with friends and hiking through the county park. To think I almost didn't go because I have the dreaded lurgy and was feeling rather sorry for myself. It turns out it was exactly what I needed! Who knew.

I am exhausted. I won't require rocking tonight.

02-19-2014, 02:33 PM

Not so easy to feel joy when it's a struggle to breathe but today's F&E committee meeting over a carvery dinner was joyous.
So glad another committee member picked me up or I'd not have gone.

candy_coated_bitch · 02-19-2014, 02:41 PM

Progress. And dumb luck.

Kenna · 02-20-2014, 05:55 AM

I just realized I get to spend the whole day in the safe haven of my best friend's home surrounded by her love and respect....no one screaming at me and no one stressing me out to the point of cripling pain...Im surrounded by peace and love...the sun is showing promise for melting the snow and my cold feelings. I'm happy and content. This could lead to a fun day!

JustLovelyJenn · 02-20-2014, 09:01 AM

I went to bed holding my new teddy bear, and woke up in Daddy's bed. Smelling Him, knowing in a few short hours He would be joining me here.... what JOY!

Kenna · 02-21-2014, 04:32 AM

We went to a fundraiser walk. The girls got kitty faces at the face painting station. It was a beautiful day to get out.

02-22-2014, 01:33 PM

Sitting in a cafe practicing this brought great joy to me and not a few smiles and random conversations from others
