I think it is too late; we have not heard from her for four days!

I think you should work on your aversion to harmless creatures. They were here first, you know.

My grandmother taught me that toads (yes, I know, different creature) were voracious eaters of insects, so whenever we were out on a walk in the evening and she saw a toad she'd pick it up and bring it to her garden. I do the same thing, hoping the toads will stay in my place and not go back to wherever they were. Sometimes the toad will pee on your hands, but it's just pee, nothing a couple minutes with soap and water won't fix.

A couple of days ago I was also pleased to see a praying mantis in the bushes. I think they too are good against insects.

I also have a bunch of bushes outside the window of the house, where I can often see little green lizards. Fortunately there are screens so I don't think they could get in the house when the windows are open; I'm not afraid of them, I'm afraid they might not find their way back out again and would die in the house.

I can't say I've seen a lot of frogs around the house anywhere I've lived; I guess I just haven't lived where they are common.

Anyway, four days without a source of water is probably the end of the frog. Someday you may find a desiccated frog corpse under the washing machine or something.

A very small chair indeed.

I had a mouse in my house a few days ago. We chased it around for a bit and finally got it to run out the front door.

A few weeks ago we came home to find a bird sitting on our dining room chandelier. He flew around for 20 minutes or so before he noticed we had opened the back slider and out he went.

These are literally things my cats drag in btw. It doesn't happen often but this month was busy! There was also a lizard once a few years back. The cats don't kill these things, they are gifts for us. A frog would be cool.

She would have to kiss it first, though...

Maybe the frog will leap upon her and kiss her first.
