We found you one day,
brought you home and promised care...
and then we failed you.
What's the lesson here?
Perhaps focus, commitment,
and mindful choosing.
Busy-ness is not
worth losing sight of small joys.
This cost was too great.

She says "we" failed Herman but really it was me. I got too busy and I neglected his water dish. We think the poor frog died of thirst--though still, I found him in such a horrible state that it's hard for me to accept that's what did him in. The time line doesn't make sense to me. He had water a few days ago but when I found him, he looked like he hadn't drunk in a week. Had I really not even looked at my frog for a week? His live food (crickets) survived longer than he did without any water, so what the heck? Oh, man. I'm 34 years old and I killed my pet from neglect. Isn't that supposed to happen to 9-year-olds?
