My 18 month old puppy was sitting on the sofa and tossing something up in the air and catching it yesterday. Sometimes he has hidden things in his mouth when he comes back in the house. This one was a dead (frog/toad???) Although it looked a little toady, the last time one of my dogs had a toad in its mouth the dog starting foaming at the mouth like it had used too much toothpaste, so I’m guessing this one was a frog. (The foaming mouth was over a year ago and the dog is still healthy and has always had his vaccinations, so no- it wasn’t rabies).

If it’s a toad, why is it in the water?

Poor scared toad.

Is the toad afraid of being towed?

It’s a frog! Why is no one pointing out the emperor has no clothes?

No, but he wards off warts.

Frog legs are quite tasty.

You’d better put that toad down. You don’t know where he’s been.

This isn’t a toad. Think frog. No warts.

Also, that looks like a frog

No, they will not give you warts. However, they will whee on you if you don’t put them down.

…and it was singing the theme from Sesame Street.
