He’s Baaaaaaack
Some of you may remember last Wet Season we had an alarming visitor to our new home in the Tropics (details over at the “old Blog”). He would arrive stealthily in the dead of night, when at your most vulnerable with your ”delicate” bits exposed.
Well, he’s back, and once again I leapt when I turned on the light, ”just in case”, before I sat down.
Yes, the Green Tree/Toilet Frog hath returned.
I didn’t want to startle him (like he did me!) by using the camera flash in the above shot. But when waving my arms and threatening him with a big spoon didn’t phase him, I did try the flash.
Still didn’t budge.
Memories of our last adventure together were not fond. I didn’t check beforehand, and so when I flushed, there he was, hanging on grimly as the whirlpool tried to suck him off the loo wall.
But back to my current dilema. By now the “situation” was getting rather desperate. I didn’t fancy an unlady like squat in the garden, so went off to get the big spoon to scoop him out. By the time I returned, he’d scarpered up the S bend.
I’m sure it won’t be the last I see of him….
The next bit is in response to the lovely Tazar, purveyor of Fine Fish Ear Bones (thanks!) and Thrilling Tabloids.
Australia Day must invoke some strange feline behaviour.
Last night this from the Cat-that-barely-tolerates-canines:
Wot the???
That’s Jez’s feet, oblivious to the newest Dog Groomer in town.
And yes, that is the better part of the dog’s lower back sopping wet with cat saliva.
This went on for a loooong time, with the cat’s eyes closed in bliss, and the dog not unhappy with it either.
Ewwww.
I hope everyone’s Australia Day was a happy one. It was lovely for us, spent in a rainforest house for a sumptuous brekkie, and afterwards our feet in the crystal clear creek below. Photos tomorrow.

Goodness me.
That’s one big croaker!
Thats strange isnt it….where do they hang out when not present in the bowl……
We have a million ants in our backyard looking for water……lots of spiders too….big huntsman leapt into the ‘piss off’ position at Rex, then he ‘lost’ vision of it, so hope it doesnt come out later…..
How on earth did he get in there?
Doda, he certainly is!
Kim, 45.7 C today! You must all be melted. Stay cool the next few days!
Sassy, he’s a ninja frog. We figure that it has to be up through the sewer - there’s no other way in. You would think that a Green Tree Frog would prefer trees.
That is a big frog……pet p….n? nearly
Nearly!
You certainly have a menagerie going there. The cat and dog are a hoot.
[…] Frog? (Any froggie experts out there?) At least they aren’t in my toilet at night (see this post and this post for past scares in the “wee” […]
