Forest's Tree Frog


Since you saw Forest's drawing of his tree frog, I thought you might like to a photo of the real froggie.  He was crowned "Specific Pacific".  And now he is "King of the Coral Bells," because on Sunday we had Forest set him free back where he was first found.  I was sensing that he was feeling a little stressed.  We had placed in a 10" x 20" fish tank with a screen lid, and tried to make him feel at home, but it probably felt more like jail to him.  Forest fed him every fly he could find, be they seem scarce in the spring.  He still has some things to learn about being really faithful with keeping the water dish filled and fresh.  He was sad to seem him hop away.  But I am so glad he could still hop.  I don't think I could have consoled Forest, if froggie had died in captivity.  I don't think I could have consoled myself for letting it happen.  We have already had more then our share of pet deaths on various sad occasions.  So I was glad we could watch Specific Pacific hop off to find his own flies.

What a neat little frog. Too bad your son is so sad though. Giving up a pet is hard.
