I'm the same with the self-propelled lawn mower. Frequent emergency
stops as a frog or toad suddenly makes it presence known directly in
front of the mower! I scoop them up in my hands and put them into the
vegetable garden. They don't even hop away after relocating them, they
just sit there looking at me indignantly for daring to move them!
