A Tadpoles Worst Nightmare

Yay! A work colleauge brought these tadpoles in for me and my daughter - 8 fat and healthy tadpoles. Here I'm showing Gabby the tadpoles and she's pretty excited as I had expected.

I left the tadpoles for a bit while I cleaned our aquarium and changed the water in preperation for our new additions. A I was busy doing that, Gabby was busy grabbing hold of the tadpoles!! I caught her acting suspicious and found her holding a small book and I noticed it was dripping a little. I got hold of the book, opened it and found 2 of the tadpoles there, and a bit squished! I was mortified - I inspected the tadpole container and counted 2 more were missing. I searched everywhere and couldn't find the missing 2. I could only assume that one of my dogs gobbled them up while following Gabby around! The 2 squished tadpoles didn't make it either. 2 KIA, and 2 MIA.

So from 8 down to 4 additional tadpoles....Poor wee fellas....
