Wild Kingdom

My favorite show growing up was Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. I couldn't wait for Sunday nights so I could watch Marlin Perkins talk about some cool animal while his field correspondent, Jim, wrestled/shielded himself from/ran from said animal. I've always been an animal fan and I think those critters know it because we always have some animal making its way into our yard. In the last year or so, we've had a turtle, kitten, rabbits o' plenty, a deer and now a cute little frog make their way up our driveway.

We had just finished taking Champ for a walk when i spotted the little guy. The kids screamed for me to pick it up, and since I'm a tomboy like that, I obliged. He was sooooo cute!

He looks like a little Jabba the Hut.

I had to be creative when taking this picture. Taylor wouldn't get within five feet of it!! Michael would have gladly held him, but I figured we'd end up with squished frog.

Here are a few more pictures from the week:

They love their Champy (me too!). He didn't feel well this week and I took him to the vet. He's on steroids now and seems to be feeling better.

The Pear also woke up feeling yucky one night, so he got to spend some quality time with Mom and Dad.
The Pear wasn't down long. He was back to his silly self the next morning.

Until next time,
