Meet Buster.
Connor found Buster in his Powerwheel Jeep. Creating this little habitat and watching buster climb the side entertained the boys for quite awhile this morning. Shortly after taking these pictures, Connor and Logan filled the tank with grass, sticks, and more rocks. Shortly after that, Connor decided to let Buster go, much to my relief. I mean, I am fine with him doing the little boy play with frogs thing, but I was afraid that if we kept him one of two things would happen: 1) either he would find a way to climb out the little hole in the top and hop straight to my bed, giving me a coronary in the middle of the night, or 2) he would die. Buster was a fun diversion this morning, and I am quite happy that he can live out his little frog existence in the backyard with all his little frog buddies.

Megan,
I am one of your blog stalkers. I found you through the friend of a friend’s blog. Anyway, I had to speak up and lose anonymity here to tell you to be careful with the rescued dog thing. I am a HUGE dog lover and last summer we were really missing our beloved Brandy who had to be put to sleep the Christmas Eve prior. I fell in love with a rescue dog in Tulsa…mind you, I live in Kansas City! Yes, psycho Mom loaded up her two boys and we took a road trip to pick up Sammy the dog, much to my husband’s amazement and bewilderment (no, he didn’t come). Sammy the dog was a sweetheart…for about the first week. After that, she ran away constantly and bit my oldest son. Luckily we were able to find a new, more appropriate home for her. Long story short, I did a ton of research after that and decided that the next dog would not be an emotional decision. Puppies seem to be a good way to go because then they are trained in “your ways” versus trying to re-train a dog that may already have bad habits. Secondly, I highly recommend kennel training. We didn’t do it with our first set of “babies” and it was chaos. This time, I used the kennel and our new pups are a dream. We ended up getting a brother & sister team. They are part Cocker Spaniel and part Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Their size is just right, not too big and not too small. Their temperament is amazingly sweet. I am saying all this as they are turning a year so we’ve had a good amount of time with them. Housebreaking wasn’t easy, but once it was accomplished, they are almost perfect in that regard. By the way, becase I know you will appreciate this, their names are Max & Ruby…sound familiar? Anyway, I just thought I’d share the benefit of my experience with you.

Gotta love the frogs 😉
As for the dog…I’d personally never be able to go the shelter route. There are just too many unknown’s with a “rescued” dog. Puppy times really aren’t THAT bad. It’s WAY easier than a newborn baby!!! I know you don’t want a big dog…but labs truely are the BEST family dog! They’re so loving and loyal…and let kids be as rough as they want with them! You can find smaller labs (40-60 lbs) than our 100 lb Remington 😉
I love the pictures so much!!!!!!
Those are very cute pictures. How do all of you girls have way cute blogs, and my is the ordinay blog that you get from blogger?!?
I don’t blame you about the frog.
OMG! How cute are these pics! I’ve always had a weakness for a cute quarterback!
