    Default I've come to the conclusion....

    People in the "real world" don't sympathize much with the death of a pet frog. Apparently pets are only of the furry variety. Some people chastised me for having something that they deemed should be only in the wild (although Tyler's species is not native to here) while others were pretty rude and made disgusting jokes. Do any of you guys get flak from others and how do you respond?

    I respond with things that aren't fit to print on a family-oriented forum.

    Nobody I consider worth talking to has ever given me any flak.

    Yeah, I know what you mean, Brian but most of these people are coworkers and I HAVE to talk to them sometimes. Lol

    That's pretty typical of most people. They think a dog or a cat is alright but nothing else. They also tend to lump frog enthusiasts in with the folks who keep big lizards and snakes. I don't have any tattoos, sorry.

    I feel your pain! Its funny, I've had my fair share of furry pets die, and as tough as that is, the death of my beloved Gray treefrog a few years back caused me the most pain. I guess thats when you know you truly are obsessed!!

    Yeah, I know about that obsession. We only had our tree frog two weeks and I bawled my eyes out!
