If you haven't already, have you considered installing a few small ramps around the pool for animals to climb out when they fall in? You can find some simple cheap-ish ones on amazon like this one: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hGTaHIS3L._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_DpWeblab_.jpg

His friend, the frog. This guy was found swimming near the mouse.

Is it? I don’t usually deal with frogs and toads. We tend to own cats, dogs, and occasionally some birds.

[-] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 13 points 1 year ago

Yup and they aren’t as aquatic as frogs are so it’s good you pulled it out!

You're a toad!

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

aren't frogs stupid and try to shove anything in their mouth?

I...uhh...nm. friends.

[-] ParabolicMotion@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I didn’t consider the mouse as his potential breakfast. Ouch.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

You don't have friends that do that?

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nah I was that friend but then I quit drinking.

I like that you specified it was the deep end, as if the mouse would stand more of a chance in 4ft of water as opposed to 6ft

Edit: i suppose you're probably mentioning it for the proximity to the stairs but this is funnier

The pool cleaning device is usually in the shallow end in the mornings. It has a tube that leads down from the wall. The mouse might have stood a chance if it was able to climb that tube.

I wonder what Aesop would have to say about this.

Did you find little car too? It's possible Mr Toad was drunk driving again like in the wind in the Willows
