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 5 months 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 5 months ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] ParabolicMotion@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

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

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

You don't have friends that do that?

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] ParabolicMotion@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

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

Rats and frogs. Hell yeah
