@brenda !
Wish I had it on video, but I missed the chance. Last night I was in the basement and it was raining cats and dogs outside. Our sliding glass door has a wood frame around it. Anyway, as it's raining and I'm watching TV, I keep hearing a knocking sound every 5 seconds. Tap-tap...... tap-tap...... tap-tap..... At first I figured it was water dripping as it sometimes does when the gutters are full, but it was a little too regular. So I walk over to the door to look outside and as I am about to go over, I see a little frog (outside) every 5 seconds jumping up and hitting the glass door. Poor fella was just trying to get inside.

Maybe he saw a bug inside that just needed to be his dinner. Then he would poop before heading outside.You are lucky to have a friendly froggo looking for your company. In many cultures, seeing a frog is thought to bring good luck and fortune. The association with water connects them to emotions and abundance, and having one appear for you can be a sign of positive change for you or coming prosperity.
Keep your eyes open for your froggo in the yard, and especially watch for it on your patio or deck at dusk or shortly after dark. Maybe yours is as social as ours. If so, you are very fortunate!

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Some of the the comments I received from own my family as I gave them daily updates on the development of the two bald eagle chicks at Big Bear were really quite offensive.
I was only joking

They obviously don't have the intelligence to understand how unique and interesting this is. I would also post frequently about such an exciting experience.
Heck, I post about mundane froggo happenings!

We had a robin's nest just a few feet away from our main porch chairs a few years ago. We had front row seats to the first flights of the fledglings. We were quietly rooting for each one as it timidly took its first flight.They left a mess, and ruined the wreath they used to support their nest, but it was a great experience. I have discouraged the birds from nesting inside the porch since then, but it was a wonderful one-time hosting period.

Yeah, I'll gladly take the guano with the experience. Last couple years we had Carolina Wrens nesting in one of Janet's larger anthuriums very close to our outdoor dining table. We did not seem to bother them one little bit and it was fun watching them coming and going on the feeding shifts. They didn't come back this year.

We love our Minnesooooota wrens. I make or buy birdhouses specifically for them. We have four or more nesting pairs around our property, and I added three more birdhouses for them this summer. They're great bug eaters, so they earn the right to have free housing. Our number of bugs has decreased significantly, and I will continue to keep a supply of birdhouses available for these sweet songbirds.
