I was intrigued when my 8-year old nephew started talking about his pet tadpole over dinner last Saturday.
"Wow, you have a tadpole?" I asked, amused.
"I don't like it so much now that the legs are growing out." He said.
"Oh, you can bring it here and leave it in my pond if you like." I offered, trying to imagine a cute little black tadpole swimming happily in my lotus pond.
On Sunday evening, he skipped into the house excitedly carrying a little plastic tank. His 10-year old sister was walking far behind, squeamish, with her hands covering her eyes.
"Come on. What's the big deal?" I asked my niece. "It's just a tiny little tadpole!"
"Nah!" My nephew suddenly thrust the container into my hands, "Here's the tadpole."
Yikes! So huge! It's like 3 inches long! What kind of a tadpole is this? It's going to grow into a huge bullfrog! Please take it away from me!

wow... big tadpole! bigger bullfrog! yikes.. give rusty a run for his money!
I'll go freaking crazy when Rusty runs around the house with a huge bullfrog between his jaws!
What's wrong with having a huge bullfrog in your pond? Bullfrogs are great. They make deep ribbit sounds and eat tons of bugs. The frog will just hide in the water when predators come around. You should keep the frog, it'll add to the tranquility and good spirits of the place. :)
Oh how funny, Blur! Yikes!
If you want fun pets, go with birds ... parrots, parakeets, cockateils etc.
Haha, thanks David. I can ship it over to you. You want?
Thanks Paul. You're right but we've never kept birds. Good thing we always have them visiting our yard.
Lulu is very pleased that you mentioned her. The fur on her chest is all puffed up! Hugs to you for doing that.
That is going to be a BIG frog!
Hmmn...what is that list under the tank...pomfret, lamprey...is it a sushi menu?
I see you highlighted fish liver oil, is that like liquid sushi?
That tadpole is huge!
Ha ha, that list is on my parents' desk. It shows the cholesterol level of meat and seafood. My dad highlighted the food that we normally eat at home as well as the ones that contain the highest cholesterol levels.
Apply 2 to 3 inches of mulch over the plants root system once all foliage is removed and discarded.
Mulch will reduce weed growth and prevent new weeds from growing in the garden.
Depending on the density of the mulch, one should lay two to six inches
of mulch over topsoil in the vegetable garden.

This will give you an idea on the reputation of the company.
"This earth is a symbol of his journey through life even after his physical death. Born in the village of Kafr Tahla outside of Cairo, El Saadawi received female genital mutilation (FGM) when she was six years old. Assuming there is a God and assuming that the Bible is God's word and an historical record of His activities (and you won't hear anything to the contrary in church and from other formal Christian religious organisations) then the standard hype you hear, the standard image projected of God (and son) tends to be 'warm and fuzzy'. Both clutched and being clutched, she was driven to the safety of her home by the motorcyclists.
