Save the tadpoles

Picture this if you will... Myself and my friend Stacy, and her little westie Katie, hanging out by the pond (also known as a retention pool for rain run off -- an attempt at avoiding flooding), when we notice roughly 1,000 tadpoles in a very shallow pool on the other side of the dam by the pond. We immediately took to rescuing the little suckers with old plastic cups (Hey man, frogs and toads keep the mosquito count down, plus they're awfully cute!) It was during this time that Katie decided it might be fun to run around the pond and then dive in after the poor stunned younglings. Thankfully she didn't catch any, but we had a lovely time getting the burrs and stink off her!
