TOAD INSURGENCY

[cicer]

There is a very determined toad outside the garage. He has been furiously attempting to sneak his way inside for the last several nights. We've had to shoo him out repeatedly, and he still keeps trying. When we get him out and shut the garage door, sometimes he flings himself against the door in the mistake belief that he can use his body as a battering ram. It's incredibly cute. I have no idea what he might be looking for out there. We put a little dish of water out in case he was thirsty, but he doesn't seem very interested in it. It's quite warm out, and the outside lights are pretty bright, so I don't think he's attracted to the warmth and brightness in the garage. I can only conclude that he is attempting to invade the home and overthrow us, thereby seizing it for himself. And to think, he looks so harmless.



The funny colored bits on the ground is the water we poured out for him. You can see that he is shunning it as being clearly inferior quality.

I always wondered if they worked! I might try one behind our garage this summer.

The one at our house always had a toad lurking somewhere nearby. :) It gets pretty warm here in the spring and summer, though, so I think they were desperate for someplace nice and cool to hang out. So if you live in an area where its particularly hot or cold, it probably had a good chance of luring some toads.

Sadly, I haven't seen my little Sanzo the last few nights. I think he moved on to another house. Sigh.

Maybe a Goku will follow him.
