Our first 'Catch'

Ben caught his first reptile last night - a frog. Maybe its a toad. I'm not sure, all I know is that its fast, it hops, its slimy and Ben was completely in love. He has named the frog 'catch' in honor of how he was captured. Catch spent the night on our kitchen island.

Ben and Catch were getting along very well until Catch tried to jump out of his cage and completely freaked Ben out.


By breakfast this morning it was evident that Catch was going to have to find another home. So during our morning walk - we released Catch back into the wild after 12 hours in captivity. Plus Catch didn't seem to get the whole idea of being fed....


Please note the fly on the frog's head

So here we are releasing 'Catch' - it was very cute Ben kept stopping on our way home, waving to the woods and yelling, 'Bye Catch' - and had this priceless look on his face like, please dont come out of the woods and jump at me.
