Such a miracle to see. What a struggle this little fellow has.
GREAT ending! I cheered and cried.

A bunch of people were born today, but most of whom I have absolutely no
interest in at all.
Yesterday was Tucker's baseball game...
.... and then a visit with my friends Bill and Jeannie... and of course
Chaka! She had been on a run and came back to her pool to cool off. I gave her a
Milkbone and she took it in the pool!

Frog Jumping Day
When: Always on May 13th
Frog Jumping Day is a great day to jump like a frog. Or, is today intended to jump "over" a frog? Either way, today is a fun day. But, is this truly the reason for this day? Read on.........
The roots of Frog Jumping Day go back to Mark Twain's first short story. It was first published in 1865 as "Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog". Later, he published it as "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County". It is also known under a third title "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County".
While we have discovered many links and references to Frog Jumping Day evolving from this Mark Twain short story, we have yet to discover the reason for this particular date. May 13th is neither the date of Mark Twain's birth , nor his death.
