While we thoroughly enjoyed California, we came home to a small tragedy. G-man's pet frog Gorky escaped out of her cage while we were away. It was completely our fault. There was a hole in the top of the cage that had been there for months. I guess in the quiet of our absence she got a bit too brave and decided to explore. Unfortunately for frogs, they are not well suited to our dry climate.

Chillin' with J-Dub. We didn't have any pictures of her with G. |

G was pretty upset about it. When the family we had caring for our animals called to say she had escaped, I think he was hoping we would find her alive when we came home. There were many tears shed and a burial in the backyard.

Little Gorky, as she is called thus far. Still hoping to find something a little more creative that will stick. |
G spent the summer working to earn money for a new cage so he could get a replacement. We were out the other day and found a Petco with a White's tree frog. So we snatched her up. She's small and cute and we made sure we got a good picture this time.
