Toad on my Doorstep

Last night I met a toad! It wasn't the first time I'd ever met a toad. Last summer, when I was just a wee little puppy, Amy and David would take me on night time walks along this path connecting our subdivision to the neighboring subdivision. Every night there'd be toads all over this little path. Well last night before David and I were going to do some obedience training we saw this little toad outside our house. Although I've more than quadrupled in size since last summer I can't say my reaction to this amphibian was very different. First, I was a little weary, "what is this strange little thing?" I asked myself.

Then I got up closer for a better look and a little sniff.

Then, I crouched down all ready to play with it.

But then it jumped! David picked it up to show me it was a nice toad but I got all suspicious again.

I got another good look at him and tried swating my paw at him but David put him back in the grass.

David and I finally did start doing obedience and I'll be darned if that toad didn't stick around to watch us. David had put me in a sit-stay and when he called me to come, I ran towards and right past him straight to see that toad. I bet he'll be back tonight, maybe he'll be more up for playing then.
