We named him Teddy, and thank God that he has escaped! Little Pa built Benny and Sophie a sandbox in our backyard over the weekend, and almost immediately Teddy appeared. Benny has never been much for
touching slimy things, but he loved playing with this little toad. I'd bet that they played non-stop for two hours in the sandbox, and on the neighbor's
swing set. Yup, poor Teddy went down the slide. Teddy also drove Ben's
dump truck, and took a little rest in Ben's
crocs.
When it was time for dinner, we convinced Ben that Teddy had to remain outside in the sandbox. Thankfully for Teddy, he escaped while we ate. Poor guy, I was beginning to wonder how much he could take.
I'm sure that we will find Teddy or a close relative again sometime soon-that is if we haven't scared the toads off for good!
