January: Frog Surgery

Freddy was our original frog who joined the family in 1976. When we were headed to France in 1980, we decided that he was too valuable to risk on the trip, so Sharon cloned him. As with all first scientific experiments, the results were mixed. Cloney has been on nearly every trip since (it's his raison d'etre). After more than 30 years of faithful service, Cloney needed some refreshing. His smile at the end of the procedure suggests that the operation was a success.
