Frogs…

…my second pet (even though it only lasted a couple of hours)!

Mommy found two frogs sitting in plant pots filled with a bit of rain water on our deck last week. Frogs tend to like this place on our deck and Mommy has seen her share of frogs hanging out in the pots. This time, though, it was a bit different because I happen to LOVE frogs. So, Mommy enlisted the help of my nanny to catch the frogs for my enjoyment.

Pictured here is only one of the two frogs because one of them escaped before we could take a decent photo, but trust me, there were two!

I was pointing out where the frog’s tummy was.

Shortly after these photos were taken, the second frog jumped out and escaped. It’s just as well because Mommy has no idea how to care for frogs.

Easter Egg Hunts x 2

I really, really like hunting for eggs.

Hunt #1: My first hunt was on Good Friday at a local Fairfax County-sponsored event at Fairfax High School. Mommy and my nanny took me there because Daddy had to work.

Here I am waiting patiently before the hunt…

Here I am showing off the eggs I found!

The hunt was over in 2-3 minutes because so many people attacked the eggs. I felt lucky to have gotten a few.

Hunt #2: The day before Easter, we went to Cherry Hill Park in Falls Church. This hunt was more friendly and Mommy felt like she could breathe and actually watch me enjoy myself.

Here I am waiting for the hunt to begin. See all the loot behind me?

During the hunt, I was super-duper happy I found a lollipop. That made my day.

Mission accomplished. Now I can finally eat my lollipop.

Maybe next year (or next few years), I’ll be fortunate enough to go to the White House Easter Egg Roll! Happy Easter, everyone.

Here’s video of me in action during the hunt.
