We are baby sitting my grand daughter's puppy this week. He has been having fun with the toads in our yard--no toads were injured in the making of these photos!

Here in Hawaii we have a BIG problem with toads, specifically cane toads. The cane toads like so many other invasive species here were brought in by sugar cane plantations to solve a problem (mosquitos) but, of course, the toads propagated without bounds. More importantly from a dog/cat owner's perspective the cane toad has toxins in pockets on its head that can kill or seriously sicken a dog with even minor contact. It can be a long and painful way for a pet to die too. So here toad/pet encounters are serious matters requiring quick intervention.

Even here in Montana messing with an ordinary toad can sicken a dog. Most dogs learn quickly, but biting or eating one adds up to vet bills.

I think I will keep him away from any more that show up--don't want a sick puppy

My wife and I enjoyed your pictures! How can you go wrong with a puppy and a fat toad?
