A frog love story. Help write the ending.
We went downtown tonight to do some home decor shopping...picture a huge parking lot and minimal water features. We were shopping an entire hour before leaving. On the drive out we notice there was a leopard frog on the windshield. I told my husband to drive back into the parking lot. My first thought was to let it go in the sparse landscaping shrubbery, but then decided against it. I've been in that open shopping center in the daytime and it is brutally hot. But I knew the frog didn't come from our place because we have an invasion of Cuban frogs in the area. I figured it would be safer just to take it to more hospitable surroundings.
I only had a plastic newspaper wrapper to grab it, but succeeded and brought it out to the burbs where we live to give it a chance in the many water areas around us. There is a favorite wild area behind the CVS shopping center I use for these relocations and I knew I picked the right place when I heard frogs chortling behind the line of shrubbery.
So, I put the little feller down and left the parking lot. We turned the corner and started to pick up speed and my husband says, "Look, there's another one." A smaller frog was climbing up out of the windshield area. Oh, shit! I thought, it was a pair! Before we had time to react, the little one climbed too high on the windshield and was swept over the car. We checked when we could, but, there was no frog.
So, finish my story for me. I figure that it has a chance to be drawn to the area where we dropped the other one, where the frogs are in full song tonight. It's maybe a New York block in distance.

And you are awesome for bringing the little froggie to safety!!!!
The second froggie found his/her friend behind the CVS pharmacy and they were reunited and are going to live a long froggy life together.
