So today was especially hot but even still Marshall was “cool” enough to take me out on two walks with the dogs: one to Starbucks this morning (even though I didn’t get anything) and one the long way around the block this evening. =)
For our evening walk we left around 8:45pm and got back home at 10. Before we reached the house I happened to look down and in the gutter near our neighbors house I saw a big ol’ fat toad. Ah I love nature!
Of course I couldn’t just leave him sitting there. I had to pick him up, give him a nice cool shower under the faucet and then have Marshall take some pictures of me and my new friend.
Poor guy was a little scared though. He peed all over me (I was expecting that) and then started chirping for me to let him go. I put him under the faucet again to wash him off, named him “Toady Toad” (I know, not incredibly original but hey, it fits) and then decided to let him go in the front yard.
After being released into the dandelion weeds in the front yard (my weed-eater broke halfway through my gardening job today) he seemed to relax and just chilled for awhile. Isn’t he cute? Wonder what animal I’ll find next? =)
