Thanks for the thoughts! I wasn't sure she would feel comfortable hopping out during the day yesterday but at night she did move out of the water. At least I didn't see her this morning or when I got home from work. I tried to make some extra hiding spots for her with some stones just in case I destroyed her original home in the digging. And then there's the yucca which is a great hiding spot.
So I lost one day of work instead of freaking her out or chlorinating her! Thankfully it rained all day today so I found a much higher water level when I got home from work. And I'll top off the water level real quick while she's out.
It didn't occur to me that she might just stay out until the water was better, LOL

I suppose all of the reading I was doing applied to frogs in aquarium settings where they couldn't just up and leave.
Tigger - I've wanted a pond for so long!!! We decided to make a "cheaper" pond by doing this one as a still pond with plants and wildlife instead of all sorts of fish and pumps and filters. That will come later I'm sure because I'm totally in love with how this is coming out. And there's plenty of new spots for HOSTA around part of the pond so that gives me another excuse (as if I needed one)!!!
