Freddy the Frog

Gabe's newest pet, "Freddy"

Freddy's New Home

- Until Mom is overcome with pity for him and demands his release into the wild outdoors. Marshal found him, turning up some sod to transplant a "deadened" tree (hoping life will sprout from it in new soil). He knew Gabe would be overcome with boyish glee. Gabe declares that his favorite pets are frogs, lizards, and deer. He has been wanting a deer in the worst way since he watched "The Yearling" when he was much younger than he is now. How many times have I explained that wild creatures only thrive and live happily in their God-given wildness?
Update: Freddy is now free!
