Frog in the dog's water bowl
 
A frog has taken up residentence in my dog's water bowl.
Where can I find a small self contained pond or flower pot sized unit?
I'm putting in a big pond this coming spring.
Thanks,C.D.

Craft Warehouse, around here, used to carry all sorts of stuff for decorative
ponds.

How cute!! Check out any garden/home center. We have a large pond, but
also several other fountains as water features in the yard. We just picked
up (at Big Lots, formerly MacFrugal's) a small pond/fountain. It consists
of a black PVC basin the size of a dish pan, that you bury flush in the
flowerbed, but could as easily be set on a level surface, with some low
decorative plants around it. On top of the basin is a slotted cover,
supporting either a little "wooden" keg with a kitten on top, or a pair of
frogs. A small pump in the bottom returns water through the keg or the
spitting frogs. It would be simple to cut the cover back, leaving a large
part of the basin open, as a little frog pond. If you trimmed the cut-off
part of the cover a bit, it would fold down, making a false back wall to
the pondlet, to hide the pump and screen out any leaves and debris that
fall in...

Just set out another bowl of water in the shade (this is what started
my ponding too!!) and if possible move your dogs bowl. I would add an
ice cube in the heat of the summer and the toads took turns sitting in
it soaking up water. So i built the pond for them. Have i seen even
ONE in the water during the heat????? NO! (but i dont care)

I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend you get a 100 gallon rubbermaid stock tank and sink
that in the yard to use as a quarantine tank for your fish. they hold up SO well and
can be used to bring on tropical water lilies (using a heater since the stinkers like
such warm water) or growing duck weed or temp place for new pond plants until they
get a bit bigger, etc. but main function is for quarantine tank for fish. Ingrid
