R.I.P Bertha

Bertha died today. She was a toad that the boys found years ago and ended up keeping. As far as toads go, she was a MONSTER in size and could easily fill up an adult's hand. But despite the fact that she was a toad, she was a great pet.



Until we actually began getting pets, I never really got the "pet thing" and how pets can quickly change from just being any old animal, to being a kind of unique family member. I know that sounds extremely strange, but it's true. We think she lived a pretty good life and ended up living a really long time. We estimate that she was around twelve or more years old!

I know this is a different sort of thing to blog about...but hey...what can I say?! She was special.
