Since Gavin wrote the post yesterday, Mom said it was my turn today.  My name is Patty; I’m the lovely dark princess in the picture above.  Mom says I’m no princess I’m a Peppermint Patty I have no idea what she’s talking about when she says things like that ‘cause I know I’m a princess.  Daddy says I am his rescued Rumanian princess.  I love my Mommy too but she cleans ears and stuff so I’d rather sit with Dad.

     When I went outside tonight, I chased two of those green critters into the pond.  They both screamed and hopped so high I thought they were birds taking off.  I couldn’t help chasing the first one he was sitting right at the bottom step.  I surprised him as much as he surprised me.  Halfway to the pond the other one screamed and took off so then I had two of them bouncing green things in front of me.  I was so excited!  That is I was until they splashed into the pond.  I don’t like to get wet so all I could do was try to see where they went.  Mom said they hide under the water with the fishes and can stay there for a long time so I should stop looking and come in.

     I told Gavin about the green critters that Mom calls bullfrogs.  He says he’s heard them scream and splash into the water but never saw one close enough to chase it.  I beat him on that one!
