The First Frog of Spring

I thought the cats were behaving shiftily in the conservatory – they were spending far too much time peering round the washing machine…and when I went in there late in the evening, after Vlad and Boris had been locked out of it for a while I discovered – the First Frog of Spring – who had, I suppose, decided it was safe to come out. I opened the back door and it exited into the garden sensibly enough.

But I thought frogs were green. This one was – sort of – black.

Eilonwy It's a protectively-colored city frog so it can cross the street! Too bad the cats can still see it ...

Tina Rath This is possible - a camouflaged frog - but judging from the fact that I didn't hear it screaming it is possible that it might have been a toad...who are perhaps less vocal.
