While out back with the boys, I hear a cat meowing. Sounds like it is caught or hurt or has a sore throat... no matter, it doesn't sound good. The neighbors aren't home and it sounds like it is coming from their yard. Hmmm... they don't have a cat.
After a minute, I decide to go on a rescue mission. I tell the boys I'll be right back and hop over the fence. Now trying to find this noise isn't easy. First the neighbors have a batting area made of loose netting. And a fenced in pool. And bushes, lots of bushes.
After calling for the 'kitty' and trying to find the noise... I found it. I was very happy that it was at the neighbors and not my house. It was a frog trying to be eaten by a snake. Ok, the snake had a hold of a little piece of the frog and wasn't letting go. The snake's head was the size of a dime and the frog was as big as my fist. Very high aspirations for the snake.
Standing there, I decided it might be better if the snake dragged the frog elsewhere... I didn't want to hear it getting eaten and chances were the frog really was too big for the snake. Being the normal typical me, I touched the snake to make it move. It moved all right. And let go of the frog in the process.
I rescued one frog... sorta...

Do frogs have memories? Because if they do....this one's telling all his friends about the human giant who saved his arse- and they are all planning to hop on over to your pad later this week!
You touched it?
eweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Bug the frog rescuer.
Um...personally, I would have gone back home without doing anything. :) But I'm proud of you for saving a frog.
yay for saving that hoppy froggy!
a cat and a frog sound alike? Have you had your hearing checked lately?
You mean you didn't kiss the frog afterwards???
Ewww! I wouldn't have been able to touch either. Hope the snake found something more his size...
I remember when you and I used to go walking in the swamp and you'd see a snake in our way, pick up a stick and move it on its way. Although I'm not afraid of snakes... there was no way in hell I was going to pick it up either. :)
