This is Fred IN his home. He spends the day snuggled down between the terracotta pot and the plastic pot filled with Ivy. I should have re-potted the Ivy last year, but I didn't have the heart to change his home. I water him daily to keep him moist from our heat.

One morning when I looked out the window Fred was sitting on the porch by his pot all hunched down and scared looking. I had unthinkingly moved the Ivy plant to a plant stand that raised it about an additional foot off the ground. He could see it, but could not get in it.

I pointed it out to my husband who thought I was nuts until.........I quietly went outside and rescued his home and returned it to its original location......and three seconds later Fred jumped in it. My husband's mouth dropped open. He thinks I can communicate with the frog now! :-)
