    Oh, I'm so, so sorry Becky. You knew!

    Thanks.
    I have a frog. She's fat and green. Her name is Gertrude, because she is fat and green.

    I'm so sorry for your loss Becky. You took excellent care of him. I know how much it hurts to lose a loved frog. I plan to bury my frog in the spring once the ground thaws and he is in a jewelry box in the freezer for the time being. If your parents do not want you to keep him in the freezer, perhaps you can put him in a plastic tupperware outside against the house in a corner (with a brick on top to keep it in place) or in a garage. It is cold enough outside that he may stay frozen out there and that way you can still bury him in the spring.

    That's so sad to have him that long and pass away! I've had mine for a few weeks and Id be so hurt.

    So sorry to hear about Sticky. Be comforted in knowing that you gave Sticky and amazing life in your hands since most amphibians don't survive very long in the wild. My neighbor and I both laugh when we see pictures of Sticky since we both have Cope's Greys and hope that ours live as long as he did.

    Thanks. That helps. Though, the empty tank doesn't. I'm going to have to put it in storage soon. Looking at it makes me sick.

    Did you happen to buy yours someplace or did you catch them wild like I did?
