If I could get Tadpole up here, I'd throw him into my aquarium and see what kind of frog he would grow into - probably one that would eat my fish. Heck, he'd probably eat the fish while he was still in the tadpole stage.
Good story, by the way - and charming photograph.
I was also struck by the reference to Margaux, the "American Eskimo." I know a good many American Eskimos, and not one of them is a dog. They are all human. Until reading this post, I had never heard of a breed of dog called "American Eskimo," and so I googled the phrase and found out that not only does this breed of dog have nothing to do with Alaska - or the Inupiat or Yup'ik peoples - but it originated in Germany!
Myself, I think the breed was poorly named, and someone ought to change it.
