I'll Never Love Another Toad or Frog
Megan, [my boxer], became seriously ill. So ill I thought I was loosing her, and she is doing better, but teetering on the edge as of now. I thought it was due to her age, and the fact she was recently diagnosed with cancer, although it wasn't [we didn't believe] to a critical point.
On Wednesday afternoon I found a dead toad on my floor. I wrapped it up in a paper towel and deposited in the trash, then ran a couple of errands. I came home, the toad was again on the floor and I looked at my two dogs and asked them "Who has gotten in the trash?" .. they both hunkered their heads down. Later that evening Megan began acting strangely. By the next morning she was very incoherent and could barely move. I thought she had a stroke. Things continued to get worse, she wouldn't eat or drink, but on Friday evening I finally got some food and water in her and a couple of hours later seemed a tiny bit better. On Saturday she seemed the same, but was still able to eat a bit. Today she actually [at one point] has had a bounce in her step, although still doesn't seem like herself.
On Friday night I recalled a conversation with a family member that had taken place some time ago, about how dogs were being killed here in Florida from licking on a toad. After some research I've discovered ALL toads are poisonous and dogs love to lick them. They have a gland which releases poison. That is also the case with some frogs.
I will never again think a toad or frog is cute. They are now on my shit list of critters, and when I see one will put in a container and drop into the nearest TALL trash receptacle.


As such .. I've not had much spare time, just to post Ivey's bday gift, since this is her day off. And it actually has made the front page, just now, if only for a few moments, thank you to those who help put it there!




Todays feature is rather sparse, but as Meg recovers I'll have more time to spend giving favs and adding to the feature for Wednesday.

Features are done with the purpose of exposing the art of others to your watchers. I love to do this! How many of you take take to really look, and fav art you find in features? I'd love to hear from you!

The first two featured today are gifts to me and a few others, thank you so much for thinking of me!
