In May, we noticed that we had a frog on our pool cover. Since then, we've opened the pool and I was a little concerned that the pool was not the most hospitable location for him. I was happy to hear him again last night. He has taken up residence in our "pond" on the patio. This is a much nicer place for him.
Gypsy is quite happy; she's gotten her "summer do" from her intrepid groomer, Cherry. Gypsy dances the entire time that Cherry is grooming her.

Best wishes,
