[Dailydrool] Toads

[Doug and Stephanie Irish]

The toads are a bit of a sore subject around our house. Every night and some 
mornings LowLa - Mighty Princess Warrior goes in search of frogs. When she 
corners one she sends out 2 short barks and a longer ARoooo so the the boys 
will come and see. After the initial shout out she proceeds to bark non stop 
until something gives. That something is usually me going outside and 
scooping the frog up and throwing him over the fence. Sometimes Mojo will 
steal her frog when she is not looking, carry it out into the yard, spit him 
out, and go back and watch her bark...she of course has no idea that this 
has happened so she continues her barking. This frog obsession has made 
things complicated around our house at night because the doggie door must be 
shut to keep her in and one of the boys thinks he can't make it through the 
night without peeing soooo...we have messes in the morning. This frog 
business goes on anywhere from 8:30 until 11:00 and can start back up as 
early as 5:00 am so you know how thrilled my neighbors must be....not only 
about the barking but about me running around in my pajamas at 5 am swearing 
about the frogs. SHHHeeeesshhhh. I love my puppies!!
