Toad alert!
Wow! Sallie, you've got a lot on your plate, er kibble dish, with toads in the yard! We have adopted a bunch of pacific tree frog eggs from jj's pond. They are in the frog bog and if we dare take a step in the bog we get lectured and chased out. We want to know how long it is going to take for the dang eggs to hatch and turn into frogs. Mom says they can take all the time they want. That was not the answer we were looking for. Rosie and Heidi the watergardening labradors |

Toad alert!
Masud and Nila, pharaoh hounds, reporting in from Oregon:
Mama and Papa duck must have decided to nest close by; one of their ducklings was chased into our pond this weekend by one of the neighborhood cats. Our Mom wouldn't let us go outside to investigate -- we were forced to stand at the patio door, barking and jumping and trying to push the door open (Masud he I told Nila the door slides side to side, but, nooo, she kept insisting that we could push it open!!) Mom went outside and scared the cat away, then the duckling climbed out of the pond, even using its beak to assist, then ran off through the neighbor's yard. The ducklings are still out there somewhere -- we heard them again this morning, silly things, but we couldn't find them. They didn't come out when we barked ... No toads here; or frogs since the big bullfrog was found floating two years ago. Mom thinks we should gather toadpoles from the mudpuddle down the street, silly lady. Oh, and Little One is still watching the koi, which she can see a little better now that Mom has used her big shop vac to clear away some of the koi mud and leaves. We can see how much help she'll be this summer keeping the marauding cats and racoons away from the pond. -- Masud and Nila, pharaoh hounds Don wrote: Sallie the bulldog he It's like a B horror movie ... On Friday night there were hundreds of toads! Well, maybe five. It was spooky seeing them swimming and hopping around in the dark. I just chased the ducks away and now there are toads! |
