I don’t know who else to tell, but I showered with a frog today

Ok, so hear me out. This was a perfectly aligned series of events for the little guy, and if he’s still there when I get home, I’m buying him a house of his own.

So normal shit morning, right? First I woke up. Then I had to get up. Fed my dogs, went to take a shower – my shower is in my bedroom at the back of the house. I couldn’t get the sliding door to shut. I messed with it for a minute then decided to deal with it later. So I’m shampooing my hair and see something out of the corner of me eye – it looked biggish and grey and I saw it, like, fly outside the shower door…thought great, I’m starting to see shit. Just add it to the pile.

But nope, not seeing things. Little dude made a leap for life into the corner of the shower. We stared at each other for a minute. I have no idea where this fucking frog came from. Now I’m wondering if I’m overrun with frogs and this is just the first brave soul. Spin into a mini alt reality where I am being smothered by thousands of frogs. Snap back.

He was kind of cute though, and despite crashing my shower, he was a super polite little guy. He stayed exactly in his spot in the corner and soaked up some water. I splashed him with a little water for his back, but it got in his eyes and he blinked a bunch of times then looked at me like I betrayed him. I apologized, kind of profusely. I had to step over him to get out and he didn’t move. We stared at each other some more. He wasn’t grey anymore. He’s actually a very pretty two tone green. My luck is he’s poisonous.

He’s cute, though, and if there ever was another animal I could take in with my dogs, a frog would probably be ok. I’m actually going to be a little bummed if he left. I didn’t think to take a picture this morning, but if he’s still there, I’m going to the store to buy him a home so he will never shrivel into a sad grey frog again 😭 I’ll add a picture later if he’s still there, after I have him set up.

Update: so I went out and bought an aquarium and some general stuff, but I couldn’t tell in the picture on the box and it has a top without ventilation. I’ll return it tomorrow and get the right kind. But he’s feeling better! He’s a different color every time I’ve seen him…At first he was kind of grey, then a bright and dark green, he was a weird yellowish color when I came home, but now he finally moved and is a pretty light spring color. Do they change colors like chameleons? I don’t know anything about frogs but I’ll learn. He can live in the shower until I get him a proper house. Seems happy there anyway 🤷‍♀️
