A little over a week ago Sarah and I were in a pet store.  There we saw a Pacman frog that Sarah fell in love with.  We named him Blorpee.  Later we added the last name McWhiskers.  Saturday we went back to the store to get Blorpee (the guy at the pet store didn’t seem as excited at the name as Sarah is).

We think Blorpee qualifies as an albino frog but we’re not sure.  He has red eyes, and isn’t as pigmented as other Pacman frogs I’ve seen online.  He is friendly and doesn’t seem to mind being held.  Sarah and I spent a large chunk of Saturday just watching him, which is funny in itself to think about.  Pacman frogs are apparently the laziest of all frogs.  They sit in one spot for the whole day until they want to eat.  Then they eat, and sit again all day.  Not exactly an active frog.

Interesting Pacman Frog facts:

• They grow as wide as they are long.
• They have sharp teeth that are angled so they can’t let go of what they catch.
• They will eat anything.
• They often try to eat things as big as themselves, leading them to choke to death because they can’t let go.
• They are called Pacman frogs because their mouth is almost as wide as their bodies.
• The Hypnotoad from Futurama is a Pacman frog.
• Sarah doesn’t like the idea of putting a dog collar on Blorpee like the Hypnotoad has.

And he has peed on me twice already.  That’s a sign of affection right?
