Frog of the Day

Boyd's Bears - Ezra R. Ribbit

They say bad news comes in three. I heard last night that a good friend is in the hospital and going into surgery this morning. Here's hoping that all goes well for AB. Then about midnight last night The Frog Wrangler is beside herself whining and crying - she can't put any weight on one of her rear legs. So it was a no sleep night till the vets opened up this morning. She pulled ligaments in the joint and is on pain killers and restricted activity for the next ten days. And just to top things off, when I lifted her onto the vet's table there was an audible ripping sound - the vet asked what was that, through clenched teeth I said "My back." So no more bad news, ok, because I don't think I could take it!
