Death Trap or Refuge

Our beloved pool often is a death trap for various wildlife creatures. We have pulled many a mouse, frog, and bug out of the pool. We just add a little more chlorine and go on with our day.  But last week, the boys were feeling sympathetic and we managed to make a few saves.

May he rest in peace.

Lucky for the grasshopper, he had a much happier outcome.
