Turkeygirl Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 So I just got home from a visit over to camp which was a blast. Just came downstairs with my dinner to check Realtree,. I go over to check the laundry on the other side of the basement. I open the door inbetween to two sides and something stops the door for a second then the door opens. There lies a toad I just squished to death with the door; I feel so rotten! I was like "I'm so sorry little guy" and put him outside. And the hard part is we normally have a few toads each year living in our basement. Ugh........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Re: I feel so bad! you may feel bad....but I just got to ask Why would anyone want Toads living in their house???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Re: I feel so bad! well on the one side of the basement which is where we store wood for the stove and andy has his tools and the mower and stuff, we always have a few toads in there. They don't bother us, we like them anyway, and they take care of the bugs that come in to the light over the washing machine/dryer in the summer.

Tominator Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Re: I feel so bad! Sorry to hear that Ruth. I love those little guys too. They eat all kinds of bugs. I haven't seen one this year. We usually have several. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Re: I feel so bad! Sorry to hear about that Ruth! We have tons of them up here. They're always under my boat when I push it off the beach, they must like to be nice and cool in the shade under there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Re: I feel so bad! Toads and frogs are good to have around, dont have any in the house, but the yard is loaded with them. I really have a bit of a hard time mowing the yard without killing any toads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newarcher Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Re: I feel so bad! You think YOU feel bad, image how the toad feels!!!!! Ribbit, ribbit, OUUUUUUCCCHHHHH! I gotta check, that wasn't right...was it? If only the world were filled with good people like you, it would be a much better place. It is a toad, don't fret it too much.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Re: I feel so bad! Yep, love having those beneficials like toads, frogs and geckos around. My favorite is the horny toad (Texas Horned Lizard). They're getting scarce around central Texas, but I still see tons of them when I go out to my deer lease in west Texas.
