Would you swim with frogs?

I take frogs, toads, mice, chipmunks, salamanders and snakes out of my pool on a regular basis. Some are alive and some are dead. I live close to nature and nature lives close to me.

Am I supposed to be concerned?

Dunno. Never been to France.

Just dump a whole bunch of chlorine in the pool. You’ll be pulling out some very white and very dead frogs in short order.

Not that I’ve ever done that, mind you.

No where as dirty as sharing a pool with other humans.

In fact, those little folks you mentioned aren’t “dirty” in my book.

I golfed once in Eastern Washington where hundreds of thumbnail sized frogs were on the greens near a pond. Maybe thousands of them. You could not put without hitting several and when you reached your hand into the cup to get your ball, Yuk!

When our pool warms up in the summer there’s a big toad (we don’t have frogs here) that is in there every night.

I will swim with the French. Also the Germans and the Irish. The Scots? Maybe not.

My pool is a fish/frog/turtle/snake toilet. Saw a 3 foot catfish in it yesterday. Every once in a while we get a frog in the water well. I’m not dead, yet.

I had frog legs in New Orleans. I’m sure people of French ancestry were involved in their cooking.
