Attic Creature, part 2

Ready to hear what creature was lurking in our attic and light fixture? It was a frog.

Poor Mr. Froggie. We felt so bad when we saw what it was.








Did a bird drop him into the roof or eve because there were baby birds to feed? Did he climb our 2 story house himself? Then made his way into the light fixture through the tiny slit in the corner but couldn't hop his way back out.



Actually, he might have been a "she" because "she's" don't ribbet. That's what my Mom's friend said.

My Grandpa told my Mom that sometimes frogs pretend to be dead and he said it might be still alive. He said if she put it outside, he might hop away into the ivy. Mom said he was probably dead, judging by how shriveled he was, but, hoping for the best, she put him in some water outside.

He didn't come back to life, but his body acted like a sponge! Very creepy.

Good bye Ms. Froggie. We are sorry we didn't let you out of the light fixture sooner but we thought you were a bat or bird or rat and didn't want you flying or scurrying around the interior of the house. Hopping would have been okay but we didn't know you were truly hopping in the light fixture. I hope there is a rainbow bridge for froggies. We are very sorry we didn't rescue you sooner.

Well, I guess the bigger issue now is there might be an exterior hole in our attic. Sigh.

p.s. Does anyone know if this is a tree frog or another type of frog?
