Fishing Frogs

ok, i've got three and i love them! i also have a frog planter (not a fishing guy). maybe i just like frogs, i dunno. but definately the ones fishing, those are cute!

my mother used to collect frog figurines... never had a thing for the fake ones although I did have a mighty collection of live ones (that weren't fishing, mind you) during the wet months in Texas...

...

Wolfie, you do have the oddest topics! I have yet to find something I like, fishing or otherwise, for my little pond. I did import some frog spawn the other year, which of course, produced lots of little real froggies, but sadly none of them have stayed and the pond is still rather barren.

We have one in our ditch (moat) and it has outived two generations of malicious minded children who would have liked to have done evil to it. Huzzah for the little green froggie! I don't know how he fishes, though...

Oh, the RHCB has a ceramic one who is apparently fishing...rather disgusting little critter, actually...but the frog is cute *grin*

growing up, we had toads that lived in the window wells of the basement windows. i built shelters for them and made a pool and everything. they stayed too! have a total of 3 fishing type frogs (cloth, stuffed animals) plus a couple of frog figurines in the garden.

I have a little wee froggie figurine which was deposited in our moat after a big storm. I cleaned him up and he is now residing on my rotating specimen shelves. No stuffed froggies, but I did have kitchen curtains (valances) with them across the hem. Cute!

Geez lousie, we have bufos everywhere. Toads to the rest of the world. Yuck!

i like toads! and the wart thing isn't true!

Ours have poison glands on their backs which make dogs think twice about trying to eat the second one. My ex used to collect them at night for lab the next day, and put them in a paper bag in the fridge over night to keep them quiet... Not much raiding of leftovers went on in the middle of the night here!

(yup! Bum rap the toads get...they are beneficial - eat a huge amount of bugs)

yup, but the ones i know of aren't poisonous....ew, i wouldn't want to play with one that was!!

I am still sad my little froggies didn't return. I don't mind our toads either. Once when we were driving to my parents across Wobourn Abbey Park the road was so full of migrating frogs we had to stop for ages to let them go across. It truly was a wondrous sight. Most of the froggies i see here are too kitsch to collect!

Migrating frogs?! Is Britain not the most marvelous place on Earth?! Toads hatch as wee miniatures of their parents and are just adorable. Frogs go through a long tadpole stage. Our toads, during rainy season, sing in the ditch (more like a gargling sound) and we know there will be lots more little wee toads to play with. They are adorable when teeny. Big, they are ugly and stupid and they get squashed all over the roads since they are nocturnal.

When i was little we used to collect frog spawn from a local pond and grow baby frogs to pass out to our frineds (we were helpful kids my middle brother and I). Well we had them in a small fishtank in the breakfast room over the boiler. We fed them on bits of meat hung from string, and bread, I think. Well they grew quite nicely and got legs and stuff. Then one night when they about an inch big I forgot to put the top back on the tank. In the morning all 26 of them had disappeared. We found frogs all over the house for weeks! Just one of the many occasions when my brother and I were not very popular.

That is Hilarious! While I was reading your little story, I just knew what was coming up and starting laughing before you ever got there. Too funny! I'll be your adult supervision was not all that thrilled...

have added a new fishing frog to my collection. found him at a gift shop at "the city under the hill" in natchez, mississippi (where i've been this weekend and forgot to warn y'all) :)

WooHoo, Wolfie is back, fishing frogs in tow. Yippee!!!
