Lately we have been trying to teach our 4 1/2 year old some responsibilities. She has really been helping out with small household chores and always wants to help me with dinner. Jason decided that maybe now she was big enough to have a pet. About a month ago he got her a pet frog. She was an african dwarf frog. Tiny and cute. When Jason brought her home she asked how to tell if it was a boy or a girl. Jas got all embarrassed and said..she can be whatever you want peanut. So she named her Ashley. Miss K was a very responsible pet owner. She made sure she was fed her pellet everyday after school. Everynight she sat down by her tank and said goodnight to her. She talked to her when she ate breakfast in the morning and said goodbye on the way out the door going to school. So here is the sad part. I walked into the kitchen this morning to make lunches and noticed Ashley was floating at the top, nothing out of the ordinary. Well, except when I usually wave my finger across the tank she moves and goes nuts...she didnt this morning :( I did not have the heart to ruin her day by telling her. When she got home from school Jason sat her down and gave her the news. She cried at first but was such a big girl about it. She said that it was in frog heaven and just went to sleep. She was very grown up and said goodbye as daddy um.....buried her at sea...lol. She is ready for goldfish now. I cried more than she did. It might be a minute before the Moody household sees any pets.
