Lloyd and Lauren have a house toad. I’ve been seeing it all week. Its talent seems to be scaring the bejeebers out of people. Early last week, it jumped out of a yew and scared Beth. Midweek, it scared me when it jumped out of the peonies. Later, it jumped out of a flowerpot while I was watering it. I was telling Beth about the toad yesterday as it jumped out from behind the air conditioner. I took a picture.
What does a house toad do? Is it just for fun? Does it bring you a Pepsi when you ask for it? Does it kill rabbits so they don’t eat your plants? (It’s not doing a very good job, Lauren. Sorry about your lettuce.) Or could it be some kind of home security system?
I’m envious.
We used to have a house toad. But we have Bobbie.
I miss that little toad.
Good old house toad. We actually have three. Have you killed two of them? I’ve been keeping them in case I have to make any potions.
Gee Lauren, I sure hope your other 2 toads didn’t croak.
ba-dump-bump
EWWWW!!!! I’m allergic to toads. Seriously. I break out with a nasty case of hives from them. I think I’m getting some now just looking at these pictures.
I have always liked frogs/toads. But I hate holding them cause I feel like Lennie from “Of Mice and Men”. “Why’d you get killed. George is never going to let me tend my wabbits if he finds out you got killed.”
I forgot to mention why I hate to hold dem. Day ahw too swippahwy and sqwushy. I have to hold dem tight.
I’d feel TOAD-ally safe with a house toad security system. I can see the ads now: “WART’cha gonna do when trouble comes a’knockin’? Invest in the 2009 model Attack Toad – guaranteed to take on any demon/turn on a dime/any other “toad” acronym you can make up here.”
[Sorry…we finally had a warmer day here and I think it got to me…]
