Frog in the dog's water bowl
A frog has taken up residentence in my dog's water bowl.
Where can I find a small self contained pond or flower pot sized unit? I'm putting in a big pond this coming spring. Thanks,C.D. |

Craft Warehouse, around here, used to carry all sorts of stuff for decorative
ponds. A frog has taken up residentence in my dog's water bowl. Where can I find a small self contained pond or flower pot sized unit? k30a and the watergardening labradors http://www.geocities.com/watergarden...dors/home.html |

Check out any garden/home center. We have a large pond, but also several other fountains as water features in the yard. We just picked up (at Big Lots, formerly MacFrugal's) a small pond/fountain. It consists of a black PVC basin the size of a dish pan, that you bury flush in the flowerbed, but could as easily be set on a level surface, with some low decorative plants around it. On top of the basin is a slotted cover, supporting either a little "wooden" keg with a kitten on top, or a pair of frogs. A small pump in the bottom returns water through the keg or the spitting frogs. It would be simple to cut the cover back, leaving a large part of the basin open, as a little frog pond. If you trimmed the cut-off part of the cover a bit, it would fold down, making a false back wall to the pondlet, to hide the pump and screen out any leaves and debris that fall in... Dave |

Just set out another bowl of water in the shade (this is what started my ponding too!!) and if possible move your dogs bowl. I would add an ice cube in the heat of the summer and the toads took turns sitting in it soaking up water. So i built the pond for them. Have i seen even ONE in the water during the heat????? NO! (but i dont care) On Sat, 06 Sep 2003 15:33:37 GMT, "C.D." wrote: A frog has taken up residentence in my dog's water bowl. Where can I find a small self contained pond or flower pot sized unit?
