Last week this little frog hopped out of a small rain puddle by the canoe, & hopped over to me, & chirped a couple of times.
This morning I checked to make sure I didn't step on him, no frogs to be seen. Sooo, imagine my utter astonishment when I not so gently, flipped the canoe over to go for a ride & found him perched on the gunnel!!!
I thought for sure he'd jump when I started sliding the canoe into the water,(it not being a very smooth ride!), but nope, not even when the tall grasses brushed against him, all he did was duck his head!!
I loaded everything into the canoe, & launched it,he was still bound & determined he was coming along. In pic # 6 I am actually petting his back....Not wanting him to maybe not find his way back, if he did finally jump, somewhere out in the lake, I finally slid one hand under him, & covered him with my other hand, lifting him off the gunnel, & finally he jumped, from my hands.(#7), but not very far, & looked back at me as I pushed away from the shore. And yes. when I ret'd some 30 mins later, he was still waiting in the same spot...Again never moved as I slid past & docked the canoe.
Tonight when I went down to the lake, like Side Kick & I always do, he again hopped into view, croaked a greeting, then headed over to the canoe!!
Well, I've never seen a frog act this way....Maybe I should just kiss him & see if he turns into a human....But with my luck, he would become human & I would turn into a frog....
Ah well...Meanwhile he has been named "Prince".
