Pearl's newest pet, caught by her own hands (that were then peed on, but that's the price you pay). He or she is a frog. Pearl is certainly a girl who loves pets.
I had a "ribbet" once but his name was George and I kept him safely in my sock... until his lifeless tiny body rolled out of my sock at bathtime and my Mom tried pumping his little chest- to no avail. Sad but true story.

We convinced Pearl (although it wasn't easy) to return Ribbet into the ditch from whence she came. Whew!

She reminds me so much of my niece. Lizards were to her what dinosaurs are to Pearl. One day while visiting the country she caught an enormous "maco penpen" (Dominican for Really Big Frog)while walking with their parents. The three of them we shouting for me to get the video camera to film them, so I started filming them walking towards me. I didn't realized she was holding a frog until I zoomed in, I fainted right then and there, as I'm deathly afraid of them. They still get a chuckle every time they watch the video, and have threatened to send it to AFV.
