  • Dogs and Toads (had me in tears)

    My tunnel is home to one small toad - if he ate all the slugs I find he'd be huge but he's obviously very figure conscious.
    I also have a two year old Springer x Collie dog called Charlie, who comes and has a good old time racing about my 5 acre plot, catching wabbits and mice, chasing pigeons, wagtails, skylarks, oystercatchers, buzzards etc - in fact anything that so much as lands on my field and he's off after it.
    Well, this afternoon I had just finished planting out my sprouts and was lifting the two pallets the cell packs had been sitting on. Now, my toad was under one of said pallets and as soon as he saw it Charlie went to grab it, but toady was too quick.
    Charlie spent the next 15 minutes with frothy bubbles dripping from his mouth and spitting out what must have been a disgusting taste, whilst wee toady crawled under the last pallet remaining in the tunnel.
    Honestly, if you knew Charlie, and had seen him with his toady mouth, you would be in tears laughing at him.

    Charlie won't be eating toad again for a while, huh?
