Here's Donkey

Here's poor little Donkey, I didn't realize till I took the pic he has no foot! Poor thing. The sad part is, he probably won't survie or Shrek. They are really stressed out from the flight and haven't eaten, and pretty lethargic. I'm hoping today they perk up a little bit and will be hungry to eat. So, we'll see, if they survive a week then I think we'll do okay. But they are so friggen adorable!!!!

My Newts Have Arrived


This one is Shrek, little cam shy, didn't want his face on the net. lol

Frogs Partying


This is what my frogs do while i'm not at home, drink and have fun!






Happy Tuesday

See I told you I sucked at blogging! lol Well, this weekend I spent breaking down the frog house and cleaning everything, the same with the gold fish tank. Then on Monday Gracie and I were going to go out and order our Newts, well it's not as easy at is sounds. Petco no longer can order them. Who knows why! Anyway, Gracie was devestated, she's crying, she wants her "lizards" so, I said well lets look around maybe we can find something else.

Well, after saying no to a turtle, rat, guinnia pig, hamster, gerbil and a bird, we settled on a betta fish! A fish called Ed! lol Nice huh?

So then Linda here at work, yes the one that drives me nuts, gave me a 20gal tank stand and tank and all accessories!!!! So, i'm thinking that's where the newts will go and my 10gal will be made into an aquarium!

So, today, i've called about 10 different stores, and I found 2 stores that might have the FBN's in on Thursday or Friday I have to call back!!!! I also found 2 websites that will ship them to me, but hell that's 50.00!!!! So, i'll wait and see what happens!

Oh I also got a good deal this weekend when I found a table to hold my 55gal tank!!! 20.00 !!! I was really excited over that! I'll post pics later!!!!!!

SO that's all for now in frog land!

New Decorations

Well, Gracie was bugging me every time we go to the pet store to buy this skeleton decoration. She wants the frogs to be scared like it's Halloween! lol So anyway, I finally gave in yesterday and bought it, this is a pic of the decoration, I'm trying to get an actual pic of it in the tank, but my flash keeps bouncing off the tank and giving a bad pic.

Anyway, little bubbles come out of the toilet, which is cute, well what's really funny is the damn frogs sit on the skeleton's lap and have the bubbles come out from under it. They have been all over this poor little guy, sitting on his head, lap, on the toilet paper! It's so funny! I decided since I keep getting a crap picture, i'm going to set up my camera on the tripod and take a video clip of the frogs laying on the skeleton! lol So that's been my exciting weekend, watching the tank again! lol

I suck

i truly suck at blogging! lol I really don't think of blogging, and when I do i'm usually too tired to do anything! So, this week i'm researching Fire Belly Newts. Gracie would like one for her birthday she told me this week, so I found a Petco that will order them for me when i'm ready, so in a few weeks. I first need to get my tank ready. I won't be housing them with the FBT's, the newts will go in their own cage. They will use the small 10gal tank. I also want to get my tank stand before I do this also, this way the 55gal and 10 gal will be on a stand!

The nice thing about the FBN's are they basically need the same set up as the frogs, so that won't be hard to do and they also can eat crickets! which is even better!! I'm really liking my reptile house that i have going on here! lol So, anyway, in a few weeks i'll probably be ready for my new roommates and hopefully they won't die cause they are not that easy to get! lol

Okay, i've done my blog for the day! I'll try to keep it up! lol

Happy Hump Day

Well, I sure can't wait to get this week over with! I truly believe when you have a day off during the week it makes the week go by even longer! I'm glad to have a 3 day weekend coming up, but still i'm exhausted!

So, i'm thinking of getting Gracie 2 tadpoles, so she can see them morph and turn into frogs! I think that would be so cool! So, i'm looking up information on the care of tadpoles so I know how to care for them so they don't die and so that they do morph! Hopefully this weekend we can look into doing that. I really need to get myself a tank stand more than anything, I found one that I like it holds the 55 gal on top and it can store 2 10gal tanks on the bottom also. So, i'm looking into that one.

My house is becoming a little Sea World, which is exciting and it is giving me something to do with my time anyway!

Well, i'm off to do tadpole research!
