Mom came smiling into the house the other day, hiding something behind her back. After several impatient guesses, she showed us what she'd found in the Garden Decor section of whatever store she'd been in. It was another goofy looking toad kind of like goofy Fred. Only this one is bigger. Much bigger, about the size of a cantaloupe. It has this dumb smile on it's face and the feet look like cat paws!!!! Toad indeed! Toad NOOOOT! And to make it worse, this toad is holding up a sign that says "Beware Attack Toad". Can't believe Mom fell for that. To make worse even WORSE - she put it out on the patio with all the pretty flowers! Now anyone walking by can see it! This is embarrassing. Oh, Mom has taken me outside several times with her to check on the plants and flowers (she really loves doing that, it makes her peaceful all over). I'm fine as long as she is holding me close. But last time she set me down "to see what I would do". Well, I got scared. I peed on the patio so she'd know I was scared then went as fast as I could to hide behind the bag of ground cover bark. So she opened the front door just to see what I'd do. I hustled myself right back into the house, that's what I did!
