This is a follow up to my last post re: Froggy Mama. First of all, I have to tell you that my froggy mama friend really is normal in almost all ways. She's an intelligent, professional woman whose only abnormality is an extremely large and loving heart. There are very few animals that won't find a home in her heart (like maybe ground squirrels and gophers and I'm willing to bet if they really needed help, she'd be there even for them). Fortunately, she's included me in her circle of loved friends, of course Katie may have had a paw in that.
Okay for those with 'inquiring minds' --- here, as Paul Harvey used to say, "is the rest of the story..." I was asked how she managed to feed and sustain these growing creatures. In her own words, "I boiled lettuce for one to two minutes then cooled it and put it on cookie trays to freeze it. After freezing, I put the frozen lettuce in a covered container and then it was ready to break into pieces for the froggies." Makes sense to me! And no, she didn't say how often. I see nothing stange here, how many of us have soaked dry dog food, squished it, and stuffed it down some baby bird's gullet until it learned to take it on its own (and then took it out to give it flying lessons).
These wonderful friends, she and her husband, keep and care for Katie when I'm in hospital or otherwise unable to be here for her and they are the ones who will take her into their home should something happen to me before she's called back to claim her wings. I'm content and confident that she won't simply be cared for, she will absolutely be loved. And she has her own water dish to go with her so she shouldn't have to share with any froggies.
