Darris warned us that sometimes we'd find a critter or two in the pool. Most of the time, that has meant frogs and toads; creatures that can survive for a time in the pool. Other than many different kinds of (dead) insects, we haven't found many other critters to speak of in there (thankfully).
Frogs survive in the pool more easily than toads - that makes sense, I guess - the frogs can spend more time underwater, holding their breath and place. Toads tend to bob along on the surface - I've rescued three of them from places they'd found to rest.
Here is the latest of those rescues. This fellow found a perch on the power cord for Dude, our pool robot, which I'd left in the pool overnight recently. I was able to fish this guy out and turn him loose in the yard afterwards.
