Our New Friend, Tad

There is a pond behind our house that is part of our neighborhood. This summer, Cameron and Dane have made it an evening habit to go out walking around it and catching all sorts of disgusting creatures. They have brought home several things...little tiny baby frogs that were about the size of a pinky fingernail were the cutest. On Monday they went out with a new net that had just been purchased for such fun events. They came home with a giant tadpole that had it's back legs. Cameron decided it needed a home and tupperware just wasn't going to cut it this time. So, Dane and Cameron ran off to Petsmart to pick up the necessary items. They came home with an aquarium complete with rocks, a filter and a big light. Dane cannot get enough of Tad and I am completely grossed out by him. He did grow his front legs overnight and now has all 4, but still has a long tail. He is currently not eating so hopefully we can keep him alive...well, at least Dane is hoping we can keep him alive (and probably Cameron too).

Complete adoration for the slimy thing:
