The Galapagos House - Part 2

Before I went to bed last night, I had to use the loo, as usual.  This 150-year old house in Maitland is not ensuite so a walk through a short hallway was necessary to get to where I needed to go.  Before I could get halfway, I noticed something on the floor.  It looked very much like the round fluff of dog hair + dust from under the sofa, fridge, etc.  It looked a bit strange so I decided to take the other route through the lounge and out the other door to the loo.  Doing this it allowed me to bypass the thing on the floor, just in case it was alive.

As I got to the door of the loo, I looked again at this thing on the floor and this ball of fluff looked like it had a pair of eyes looking away from me.  The lighting wasn't very good, obviously, because I couldn't make out what it was.  

Tractor Chick:  (yelling out)  Hey Babe!  There is something here that looks strange.
Farm Stud:  (From the bedroom & yelling back) What is it?
Tractor Chick:  I don't know but it has fur on it & I think it has a pair of eyes on it.
Farm Stud:  Is it a rat?
Tractor Chick:  No no it's only small, not as big as a rat.
Farm Stud:  Is it a mouse?
Tractor Chick:  No no it's sitting too still to be a mouse.
Farm Stud:  Is it a spider?
Tractor Chick:  No I know what a spider looks like.
Farm Stud:  What is it?
Tractor Chick:  (yelling louder)  I don't know!

After doing the deed, I came out of the loo and continued to stare at this ball of fluff.  I took one careful step toward it & it did the unexpected; IT JUMPED!

Tractor Chick:  (screaming)  IT JUMPED!!
Farm Stud:  (yelling louder)  WHAT IS IT?
Tractor Chick:  (still screaming)  I DON'T KNOW BUT IT'S GOT FUR!
Farm Stud:  (running from the bedroom)  What is it?  Hahahahaha...what is it?  Oh, it's a frog & it's covered in fur!
Tractor Chick:  See I told you it was something weird!
Farm Stud:  (going after it till he caught it in his hands)  It's only a baby green frog.  it won't hurt you.  Come, have a look.
Tractor Chick:  (running back through the door towards to the bedroom) NOOOOOO!!!!!
Farm Stud: (releases the frog into the garden) Hahahaha I've never seen a frog with fur!
Tractor Chick:  Yeah I definitely haven't!
Farm Stud:  (comes back into the bedroom still laughing)  I know what it is.  The frog must have landed on or through a ball of fluff from somewhere and it got stuck to its body & hopped around with it.  Hahahaha.  This is the best incident yet!  I'll never forget it for a long time.  Hahahaha.

Welcome to Australia!
