So this morning I head out to do some quick pool chores... The sun is shining, no wind and as I reach down to pull debris from the skimmer, I notice the largest frog I've ever seen in my yard! It was in the pool. I thought for sure it was dead...
After finishing my work outside, I thought documenting that big frog before I pluck him out of the pool might be kind of cool...
By the time I got back out there, he'd moved! I figured the movement from the cleaning heads inside the pool pushed him away from where I originally saw him. I wanted to make sure to fish him out of there, because the last thing I need is to head outside to empty the skimmer and open the lid and find a frog that size in there--I might have a heart attack!
I don't expect to open the skimmer lid and see anything more than leaves, or small branches--I've had my share of little critters surprise me when I lift the lid and it's not fun.
I grabbed a net and went to fish him out and would you believe... He's alive! What a big guy!
Perhaps I should go get my pool water tested, because if he survived in there, my chemicals must be off.

Love the frog story! Hmmm, maybe he is just indestructible like an alligator. He might survive anything. I am glad you rescued him!
