That is what my husband said- "at least he died in his sleep". I was surprised that he lived so long; when I got him as a gift I was told 5 years tops, but when I did my own research I found out I was in for a MUCH longer ride. All my critters tend to live past their prime. My oldest cat is 18 years old and healthy, just slightly senile. I do wish my ferret had lived longer than 8 years- she had a "stroke" and heart failure. My horses are well in their 20's. Anyway, just be a good froggy parent and you will enjoy them for many years.

Take care,
H
