Rest In Peace . . . Speckles, Apr. 2009 - Oct. 3, 2009

We are very sad to say we have lost a dear pet member of the family. He made the long journey from Ohio to North Dakota in his aquatic environment on the floor board beside Cassie's feet. He made the transition from the oversized jar back to his bowl without any complications. Mackenzie had found the perfect spot on her dresser for him.

Unfortunately, a two weeks ago, Speckles, Mackenzie's African Clawed Frog passed away. She had a mothering relationship with him as she had nurtured him from a tadpole to juvenile to adult frog. She misses him dearly, but has already made plans to replace him with an aquatic Albino Clawed Frog from Wal-Mart.

Cassie would like to say a few words . . .
May the heavens greet you with endless
possibilities.

Zack would also like to add . .
I wish we would have had tiny enough
instruments to have dissected you for
science.

Mackenzie to Zack . . . "HOW RUDE!!"

Mackenzie's last words to her dear beloved frog friend . . .
Have fun living your new life in the
heavens up above. Meet you there when I
die.

Mackenzie
You did such a great job with your frog. I think you have the last surviving one from our troop. Because you took such good care of him is why he made it so long.
You gave him a good frog life here on earth.
