Frog chilling in our pond

I've blogged about the heat.

Never did I imagined that our garden frog need to 'chill' too!

In the still of the night, the heat was unbearable (we thank heavens that air-cond invented). Our garden frog, or Froggie, took refuge in our garden (early Christmas gift from mother nature).

It has never up to any mischief and tucked to a corner amongst our Heliconia psittacorum and Zebra Plant (Aphelandra squarrosa). It gets cool baths in the mornings and late evenings, during plant-watering, and feeds on plant insects. Perhaps on that night, it wasn't enough and it urge a cool dip into pond filled with guppies. In the middle, a pot of Common Water-plantain (Alisma plantago-aquatica).

Initial scare when we thought it was feeding on the guppies but guppies were all intact. In fact, baby guppies were trying to nibble poor Froggie! I bet Froggie had a "ticklish affair".

Froggie must have been attracted to the coolness of the pond but it had quite an excercise that morning, over many failed attempts to jump out of the pond. The terracota pot has a slippery smooth finish made it ever more impossible feat for Froggie.

Do you think Froggie would stay clear of the pond or do we expect another hop-in-to-chill when the heat is unbearable again? Love to hear your comments.
