It was love at first croak....

Just last night, I went running with my friend Josh. The park was flooded, so we zig-zagged up and down the hill all around the perimeter of the lake. We got tired about half-way around, so we continued at a walk. That's when we heard it. It sounded like a dying duck! We found that imitating made it croak again. So, desperate to come to this poor duck's rescue, we all kept croaking until josh and I finally located it right by the water's edge. However, we couldn't see anything in the dark. I took a step closer, and suddenly, a toad hopped into the lake a foot away from my face! I screamed and hit my head as i fell to the ground laughing. We followed the frog and I miraculously caught it with my semi-disabled hand! We took it back to the car (making sure to keep him wet) and went to Josh's house in hopes of finding an aquarium. =) In the meanwhile, Josh cut open an empty water jug with a sword and we stuck him in there. He put up a really good fight, but he eventually calmed down enough to where I could pick him up and he'd sit quietly in my hand! Well, the aquarium plan fell through, so I took a picture:

and Josh took him home. He must have liked us very much, because Josh said it took at least five minutes of just sitting at the edge of the water until he finally jumped into the water! =) We decided to name him Jeremiah Trevor Terasuki! We will miss him!
