Eventful...yet typical

Last night was a major break-through with Maisie's suckling. I had to wear headphones to keep her from my ears (believe me, she tried her best to get those things off). Everytime she went to suckle alternatives (nose, chin, eyelids) I'd tap her nose and tell her "No". Eventually she stretched out on my chest (I was lying on my back, reading) and let out a heavy sigh and went to sleep. She did end up suckling my finger later, which surprised me because she refused before.

I spent my noon-time hauling rocks back and forth across the street. The neighbors had taken out their water garden and have promised us the flat rocks for a path my mother and I are building. The caretakers of the dog down the street kept wanting to come with me. I had to keep taking the dog back to their yard so she wouldn't try crossing the street. Her owner was jealous that the dog was following me and not him.

While I was looking through the neighbor's rocks this big frog (my amateur herpetological eye deemed it to be a leopard frog) hopped out. I put it in a pan of water until I got the chance to take it to the creek down the street and let it join its amphibious brethren.
