Pet Sitters R Us

The early morning view from Tippling Rock.

We are watching a cat and we had a dog for just this morning. The girls love having furry friends in their life. They get a chance to water, feed, pet, walk and scoop for their charges. Actually, I do the scooping, but that is another story.

Today we took our doggy buddy for a walk at the Nobscot Reservation. It was another wonderful walk. In the cool of the morning we saw toads. frogs, assorted mushrooms, mosquitoes, and pretty much hiked from one side of the reservation to the other.

The trails are littered with toads. Over the course of these past few weeks we have watched them grow from the size of thumb nail to that of a quarter or bigger. Another interesting sighting was the stream where we discovered the frog on our last hike is all dried up. We had an interesting discussion on just where a frog might go? And when do they realize their watery world is about to dry up.

Note to self: There was no clamoring today.
