No pictures today, just a quick story...
As you know we have a tadpole. As you also may know, we have two cats.
Early this morning, about 4:22 a.m. to be exact, Emily ran into our room this morning screaming. Max the cat was on top of Emily's dresser and found Swimmy. The habitat was knocked over, water everywhere, and Mr. Swimmy was flopping on the top of the dresser. Emily was trembling.
I got Swimmy in some water and got the mess cleaned up. Then couldn't fall back to sleep. Ugh.
Tonight Swimmy isn't doing to well. Not sure if he is exhausted from the trauma or if he was out of the water a little too long.
I can't let anything happen to this tadpole. Too many kids are counting on us having a frog when school starts. Oh the pressure.
More updates to come....
Oh no. We had a very similar experience at my house when I was a kid. It might have been a goldfish instead of a tadpole, but I can't remember for certain. My sister was traumatized for years, although the victim-animal did survive.
ReplyDeleteI have my fingers crossed for your tadpole.
Hope all works out! Goodness the drama.
ReplyDeleteOnce we sent a bird home with a girl for the weekend and her dog ate it. As teachers we didn't care, but the girl felt so embarassed in front of the kids. But, stuff happens.
