This is our shower buddy. We move him out and a day later he comes back. Don’t know how he does it.

Once I found him in my coffee cup. I put in some brown sugar and was just about ready to pour in the coffee when he crept out to the cup rim covered in sugar looking around to see what happened.

Well, that’s how it goes in the Sierra Foothills.

So do I, they're gardeners friends (not that I do gardening any more). xx

Aww, he's heard there's a good home going at your place, he's obviously a mate of your new chicken. 😊😊 x

Oh my goodness Dave, that would have made me leap feet, pardon the pun. They do make me jump as they're so quick.

That's really sweet. Hope you all have fun together! 🙂🌸

Oh he's cute daveh121. I'm well used to the antics of frogs and toads from my days in the tropics. From the enormous, ugly and presumptuous cane toads to the charming, tiny but noisy tree frogs. (Sounding like a squeaky wheel going round.) I often found frogs and toads sitting in the middle of my plant pots, cooling off, (I first thought those were a hideous sort of fungus until poked with a stick, making them leap into the air and hop off), in the middle of the pet food and water bowls, or forming a sort of frog river along roads, after heavy rain. Literally thousands of them.

This one obviously has a penchant not only for your bath, but for life with your household! 😀

I think that the shower is definitly one of the good places to find a frog - most places it would be an indication of a dampness problem!

He’s sweet and he obviously knows a good thing when he sees one! We have lots of frogs where I work too. The sound they make sounds like a bird chirping.

I love frogs. Had a pond full at my old house.

Back in the 90s, when I was married, I used to live in the Napa Valley. Our property had the year-round Napa creek running through it. Every year when the frog spawn hatched we were overrun with literally thousands of very tiny baby frogs.

I found them in the shower, in the sink, in the bathtub, in the dog’s water bowl, in a dark closet, under a dripping hose bib, in the watering can and under the rock where I hid my front door key.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to avoid slicing them up in the lawnmower, and squashing them under our tires on the driveway.

It was a plague of biblical proportions! But I am really fond of the cute little creatures.

Elizabeth.

That’s fun. When we lived in Redding California there was a sandwich shop near a creek. There were frogs everywhere as we were eating lunch.

Bummer about the lawn more though. Unavoidable I guess.
