Ok... I think I am going to barf

We have a frog/toad problem

( we live on a small lake) ...this morning my dh put cat food out for a neighborhood cat that he likes. I went out to the garage and there were two ugly big toads eating the food...barf gag

Now I am sitting here hearing the sounds of dh "taking care of the toads". More gagging

Haha! Gosh, I hope they didn't eat the cat!

I like frogs and toads...I think it's funny that they're eating cat food, I didn't know they would do that.

How big is your property? There may be a way to divert them.

We actually have 'Toad Tunnels' in some places in the UK, so that they can get across busy roads and head for their mating ponds

I don't know how they got to read the road signs, though

Ok.. I like little green frogs are cute...these are big buffo toads.. They weight 1/2 to around each. They are dangerous to dogs.

Sorry I had such a reaction

.. I ran into the house to tell dh to get ride of them.. All three dogs jumped on me when I sat down..as if to say " well protect you mom" ( or more likely ..yah she sitting down we can sit on her now lol)

We have animal crossing here too. We have them in the Everglades for panthers and in the keys for deer. Don't know how they read either lol

I'm pretty frog-fearing myself. I'm not very comfortable around even small green ones let alone big ones. Kind of give me the willies!

Personally, I think frogs and toads of ALL sizes are simply adorable!!

OMGosh! Bufo toads? That is so scary as they are so poisonous to dogs and the smaller the dog, the worse it is. Tell hubby to get rid of them!

BabyGirl Rosie · 06-23-2012, 09:42 AM

Ewwwww no frogs for me. We have them around our pond and I think they are creepy!

TysonMyBoy · 06-23-2012, 02:50 PM

Well, i think frogs r kinda cute! Tyson likes them too

he kissed one earlier this year and started foaming from his mouth. I jerked him up and stuck him under the tub faucet and ran to the ER. Poor Tyson, he probably wondered what my problem was...the vet probably thought i was an idiot too! Tyson was fine but it scared the daylights out of me!

Now when Tyson sees a frog on the patio, i scoop him up and go shoo the frog away! although he's probably smart enough not to lick a frog again, lol. I'm guessing they taste pretty nasty.

I think frogs are gross. They look so slimy. Yet I am not afraid of snakes or spiders, go figure.

At out old house we almost chose this lot that was by a water channel. During certain months there were SO many frogs/toads out there croaking. I am so glad we didn't pick that one bc that sound annoys me to no end! Once we did find a toad in our garage. He was under one of the large toolboxes, but he died from the heat in there and I guess lack of water. He was so gross looking. I still don't know how he got all the way to our lot without getting ran over.

I wouldn't want to see those kind around any little dogs. Yuck!
