What's The Number For National Geographic?

I was weeding the flower beds I have all the way along my retaining wall and I came across an animal that I had never seen before....it had little anteannas or legs or something all over it and it was kind-of a jelly substance....not clear, but really mushy.  I was removing leaves from it and poking it with a stick, but it didn't move so I thought I was safe.  I was getting so grossed out as I was imagining that if there was one....there may be many of these weird animals hiding in my retaining wall.  I told the girls not to touch the weird, dead animal and I left it where it was so I could show it to Brad later. This is where I should just admit I should have had them dye my hair blonde instead of perming it :)  When Brad went to inspect the "new species" I had discovered that makes its home in retaining walls in Michigan....he flipped it over and there was a little handle on it.

It was one of these little plastic puffer balls mostly deflated and caked in mud.  

Good thing I hadn't made that call :)
