Mourning the loss....

of my African Dwarf frog. :( It sits in my office, on my desk and acts as a conversation piece. He's definitely a conversation pieve today.

 

I've had "Lucky" for over five years. He's only an inch tall, and he's an underwater frog, never leaving his cube of water. I got him from Target, but he's from aquababies dot com.

 

I named him Lucky because my friend almost killed him in the car ride back to the office from Target, he was lucky to be alive.

 

But I came in this morning, and poor little Lucky's body is stiff and white. Rigor mortis sets in.

 

Coworkers refuse to wear black to pay their respects. :rolleyes: I've only had one offer to help with a proper burial procedure (the toilet).

 

Lucky was our second longest employee. He's seen it all, heard it all. I'm surprised he lasted this long. I think I want another frog. :(

Maybe Lucky got some dirt on a co-worker and they offed him over the weekend to keep him quiet? :confused:

The king is dead, long live the king, huh?

 

Tiki, this is almost unconceivable. Wait a few days for everyone to really miss him ( and be depressed ;)) and then take another frog! Logic, it's all about logic, dearest !

Be right back, I'm gonna go put him on the receptionist's desk to see if she notices....

Well, she didn't like that much. So I put it on the doctor's desk, he said "fine, let him stay there". I attempted to dump him into the toilet, but I started gagging. I threw up, but only a little. :o

 

The receptionist (that I exercise with at Curves) told the workers there that my frog had just died. And that I was digging to get bereavement pay ( :laugh: ). My friends that work there made me feel better, they gave me an extra Curves buck for mourning, and our question of the day was "Ask your neighbor what their favorite animal is"....hahahaha. ****ers.

 

So my husband has been worried sick about me all morning....seriously. He thought I was REALLY upset. ???? Okay, I am a little upset, but come on! He's already located some frogs and he says we can go to get one tonight.

 

Aquababies won't ship me a frog during the winter months, they said I they can only ship after the spring - I can understand.

 

Anyway, my desk looks empty.
