Public Service Announcement for anyone in the tropical areas.
Cane toads can kill a dog. I have lots of them in the summer. They have these huge glands behind their eyes that are full of milky toxin - if you squeeze that gland ( I just did the one below), white stuff squirts out. Dogs LOVE to chase them. They come out at night, especially warm rainy weather. They are huge. You'll never see them during the day, but when they are active they leave impressive turds all over the place.
They are non-indigenous. Introduced to florida to fight some bug in the sugar cane plantations in the everglades. Per our usual arrangement, this resulted in a bigger problem (and didn't solve the first). When found, they should be anesthetized then euthanized. Easiest way is overnight refrigeration, followed by overnight freezing. I'm not a fan of killing any living thing, but given the risk, toads have to go.

Are they edible? I love frog legs, but never hear of people eating toads. I suppose I can google it myself, but I'm feeling lazyPublic Service Announcement for anyone in the tropical areas.

Your screened pool area would make an awesome catido.Dogs are entropy expediters. Our new 3 month old German Shorthair Pointer (GSP) grabbed a box and dragged it to the other room. Viszla joined her. 5 minutes later, shreds. Pretty much back to wood pulp. No way I can get mad at these two though. I love the sporting dogs.
Last night, GSP entered the house all excited (I have a dog door). I found the Vizsla swimming in the dark pool, night, in the rain, chasing a tree frog in there. Man they are nuts.

My wife and I rented a cabin for a few days near Hocking Hills in Ohio and took our doodle Henry hiking for the first time. He loved the cabin and learned that he loves hearing the echo of his howls. Lol.

Newest addition to the house. 8yo golden retriever who is not allowed on furniture. Obviously we have some work to do. Good thing he’s a sweet old guy. Cat is not impressed.
