This is Kicky's thread! But I have a frog in my throat, so I suppose tht helps!
We used to put the penguin in the shower recess. Some slightly intoxicated people were put off, using the loo, with this penguin watching. Other times he would just lie in the bath. A bit un-nerving for those of delicate sensitivities - but what on earth were they doing at my place, anyway?
I suppose that we could start up a rivalling 'I love penguins thread', so that we don't give the illusioun of so many people loving frogs!
Heheh-- how did they get into your house, if they weren't invited? Did he get out of all of this without being puked upon or fought once?
Hmmmmm ... I never thought much about frogs, but yes, they are intriguing little critters.
Apparently some varieties are fast disappearing in Oz ... An ecological warning, we're told.
Why do you need frogs? I thought that they were actually bad for you, ecology-wise...
You should! He sounds too much fun to be left to die a painful and uninflated death!
Perhaps a nice tire patch...
What about otters? I think they are pretty cool. Frogs are too conflicted. After all, it's not easy being green.
Oh, god, I love otters. I mean, Oh, Cav, I love otters.
I agree that frogs are troubled. I love otters; but does anyone have hilarious otter stories?

I'm by no means an expert, Drom, but I understand it has something to do with the health of the waterways. Apparently the frogs are vanishing because conditions have deteriorated.
When I lived on the western outskirts of Sydney, we had some great frogs. At night they used to jump off the guttering <splat> and then climb back up the downpipes. Such fun!
I used to go out with a torch and my camera, and look for them on the downpipes, focus my camera, by torchlight, turn the torch off, and take the photo, with fingers crossed that they hadn't moved. in the dark Lovely green and brown native frogs. I had some wonderful photos.
Well, I remember laughing a lot when the fellow in Ring of Bright Water brought the otter in the pet store window home and kept him in the bathtub, with difficulty..
So a frog walks up to an otter in a bar and says "Hey baby, are you alone?" The otter, who had a bad cold said "Yeb, I abalone."
Aww! We'll see you later then, Margo!
As for the frog/waterways problem: Oh no! I wonder what can be done?
A penguin is a better security than those awful Mr. Man. things. I remember a friend's friend going mad with one of them; buying for it a whole wardrobe, formal wear for special occasions; even a watch. A penguin, you just plonk it down and it freaks out people. Now that's value for money.

Very cute, cav!
I used to watch otters during feeding time at the zoo for hours. Loved their cheeky antics. But recently I have transferred my affections to wombats! Wonderful ploddy, sleepy, endearing critters!
Penguins are at least formally dresssed!
Aw! Wombats! I may sound like some sort of animal-slut (Not in the... deviant way) with my likings of so many animals, but wombats are wonderful.
What do you all think is the worst animal going? I hate wasps, personally...
