TOAD

TODAY   we are off to the Orchards to pick 87 Bazillion GRAPES   and will be making and canning our winter supply of Grape Juice...   So we will not be around today.     Sorry... and we will miss all of you.

We know this is Difficult to SEE butt it WAS dark....
      the other night... Dad went out onto the Front PORCH.... which is HIGH in the air.... like 5 steps up..high...    and he thought he saw somethingy...   MOVE...    so he got his flashing light thingy out and looked.... THERE in the Corner was a BIG TOAD...  


 In all the like 87 years that mom and dad have lived here... they have NEVER seen a toad   ON the porch...  
 WE stayed Way WAY far away... beclaws.... I (Frankie Furter) once LICKED a Toad... and I Foamed at the Mouth and Scared the POOPS outta MOM beclaws at furst she didn't know WHAT was going on.. Until she saw THAT toad.  
We don't KNOW how THIS on got so far up there... unless he went up OUR Ramp from the Safe to Pee after Dark Time Pen....   that takes us from the grass up to the Front Porch.
    It is a MYSTERY and the Toad was NOT tellin.

Yep been there, licked a Toad. Maybe that Toad has super jumping legs a leap up there in a sing hop. Have fun picking grapes, just don't eat any.

Mom once told my sis you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince...I guess that applies to licking too. MOL
Mom will be stomping grapes in her mind for you all today!

Maybe he's hiding from the tree rats.
I have No idea how a toad jumped on your porch.
Will your mom have purple feet when she gets home today?

uhoh! a toad! I was a carnivore "foamtain" once too and I got a pill and my dad a bill from the vet. butt guess what? the next day I met another toad... and I did it again! the toads are wandering around now to search a place for hibernation, we had one in my back yard too, butt mom was faster than me this time

Unknown said...

Uh, dudes....toads can jump pretty high so I am not surprised he was on your porch. We have those suckers everywhere down here. I stay far away because ours are poisonous to dogs. They freak Ma out when we walk at night because they jump around everywhere. Eek!
Happy canning...or juicing...or whatever.

UhOh..we gots them things all over the place here and Mom is always worried one of them might be that TOXIC TOAD thing. We always read about a dog in Florida who is either sick or crossed the Bridge after a TOXIC TOAD encounter. So....her scoops them up in a WallyWorld bag and walks them down the road and tells them never to come back again or she might not be so nice next time. BUTT, don't worry. She would NEVER hurt one. She just doesn't want them in OUR yard.

Yeah, those Toadstools-R-Us sales reps are quite persistent!

Yikes, that looks like the feral things released in OZ - the cane toad. Very poisonous. They were imported to control the snake population and - TYPICAL! - became a bigger problem than the thing they came to solve.

So definitely NO LICKIES BOYS!!!

Happy harvesting to you. Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

Looks kind of ugly. Ah I don't think that you should lick it either. Put it in the neighbor's yard.

He looks like a grumpy toad as well.

Have fun grape picking....I think you're picking.

Auf wieder sehen, Ernie, Ich liebe dich ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Too bad y'all don't live closer. You could come pick my mom's grapes. She's got a ton and a half of them!

Good thing you stayed away from that toad this time. I wonder how my boys would react to it. I think Shiver would be scared of it, and Chico would probably bark at it.

Sounds like a great title for a book :The Mystery of the Big Toad:)

Happy graping.

How strange. We don't see many toads at our house either and yesterday, mom found a toad in the barn and removed it before we came outside and found it.
Have a great time making grape juice!

Cool! I's never seen a toad before.

Guess what happened Saturday night after the storm we had. A humongous toad hopped into the house when Mommy let us out to pee. The chase was on. Prissy cornered it and was trying to grab it when Mommy got the broom and chased it out of the house. It was pretty funny and Prissy wasn't happy with Mommy for
taking her prize away.

Yikes! That toad is a hop, skip, and a jump from sleeping in your bed with you! I have never seen a toad, which is just as well. I would probably drop dead from fear. Mom, too.

Love and licks NO! Cancel that. No licks and no foaming.
