Stealth Ninja Frogs

I'd mentioned my frogs before. However, I under estimated their ninja like capabilities.

I woke up this morning, and was prepareing to empty the bladder in the normal fasion. I look down, and notice there's this brown blob in my crapper. Now, since I do have a puppy who's not house trained yet, I tend to just throw her presents into the toilets, but I usually use the downstairs one, since that's much closer. I was sort of groggy, and right as i brought it into focus and realized it was a frog, it jumped out of the toilet. I'm just happy I wasn't sitting on it. That would have been wierd.

So after chasing it around the bathroom, I finally caught the little bugger (tree frogs are sticky!) Then I took it downstairs, and threw him out side.

I think it might have been one of these, but I was a little sleepy to check it out, maybe the next time there's 4 on my porch I'll take a picture of it.

What I really want to know is how the bloody hell it got in my toilet. On the second floor. See, all my windows have screens. They don't have holes big enough for frogs. All my doors were closed, and i don't think its strong enough to operate the door nobs. That leaves 2 ways for him to get in my house. 1)climb through the septic system(doubtful) or 2) come in through the basement.

Either one of those might be possible, but still. To get from my basement to the bathroom upstairs, it has to do one of two things. It can crawl up all the inside walls, and manage to find the air vent into the bathroom, then push it open a bit (the bottom is loose). The other option is to crawl under the door between my laundry room and the basement, sneak past my puppy who would love to play with it, squeeze under the door from the laundry room to the hallway. Next, it would have to decide that going upstairs was fun, and climb the walls/stairway. Since the other doors upstairs shut fairly tight against the carpet (and are shut to prevent the puppy from chewing things if she goes up stairs), the only door that's open is the bathroom. I guess he decided my toilet was a good place to swim after all that work....

Beware the Stealth Ninja Frogs, they're planning on taking over the world.

There's a way in which you can read that, where you said you sit down when you pee.

I have heard of things coming in through the septic system...I wouldn't discount that method quite yet. BTW, you should stay in town after the bachelor's party and go work on LMC. I'll be there on Sunday.

Or you could read it as sometimes my colon is angry at me in the morning.

this is the second time we have had a frog in our upstairs. We don't even llive up here. We have an office and I come to clean upstairs before visitors come. A year ago I found a frog in one of the bathroom toilets and I threw him outside. Now it is after christmas and I know he came from the pipes he cant open the door and come in. and we have grown kids so no more surprises from them. how do they do it?
