Mr. Toad


Hee hee!  Here's another picture of Mr. Toad.  I found a terra cotta pot and buried it on its side with less than half of the opening exposed.  Gotta love the internet!  So now he has a home.  

I didn't realize at the time that he was sitting right at the base of the tree while I was digging his new home.  Note:  probably not the best for pork healing!  I almost couldn't get up after. Anyway, the duppy came by to see what I was doing and had an encounter.  Fortunately when he leaped, he startled her, so she wasn't as inclined to just eat him.

He ducked out behind the tree, so I ran and grabbed the camera. Hopefully he'll enjoy the shelter in the pot and I also hope it won't make him a sitting duck.  One that is dug up and eaten, i.e., toad snack trap for the dogs.  

Jack has already peed on the toad house.  Maybe that'll be as bad as it gets.  I really need Mr. Toad to eat slugs and bugs, as we have plenty!
