Pond Life!!

The sun has been shining here in Whitley bay and our pond has been a hive of activity!! I havent seen as many frogs and as much frog spawn in my life!!

Great Pics Must admit im not too keen on frogs tho

How do the dogs get on with them

We used to have some frogs in our garden years ago one night we heard this terrible screeching noise in the middle of the night it turned out to be a frog that the cat had cornered
It was making a horrible noise to try scare the cat away
Id never heard a frog screeching like that before we thought the cat had hurt it but it was fine We got the cat in and it hopped away back into the pond
Id love a pond in the garden but i dont think i could trust Mickey around frogs hed probably squash them

I would love a pond sorta hinting to Gaz that one would look nice in the front garden it's plenty big enough for one and would look great with reeds growing we have lots of frogs here and they would love it, we also have a lot of water birds and geese and ducks around as the river isn't far in front of us, I want a pond

Couldn't have one in the back garden the dogs would be in there most of the time

In our other house, one night, Misty used to bring me pressies at night we had. Doggy flap in the back door, I thought it was a mouse as she put it down and I saw it jump at the wall, I woke Gaz up in a panic, he jumped outta bed, turned the light on and it was a frog, unharmed, but it was frightened and jumping silly about I was screaming, get it out, get it out he grabbed it and took it out only when he came back in, freezing cold did we both realise he was stark naked I still wonder if any of the neighbours saw him playing with a frog in the nude

The dogs have never bothered with the pond. Even with Kalas love of water she was taught from being a puppy that she wasnt allowed anywhere near it and even if she chases a cat she will give the pond a wide berth.

Marley is terrified of the frogs if he sees one hopping about on the garden he's such a wuss!!!

Kala is curious but hasnt really bothered with them I suppose because she has grown up with the croaking sounds

it is the one thing I will miss when we move I will have another pond if the garden is big enough

don't do frogs too slimey and jumpy for me i'm with Marley Judes i'm a wuss

wouldnt never hurt them but i steer clear if i can must be lovely having the wildlife in your garden though hun

Great photos Jude.
I had a little pond in my house Manchester where we used to get cranes fly in to catch the koi karp we had, sadly i lost all of them to either a frozen pond or cranes. do you get any in the garden Jude?
