It&#8217;s not daddy&#8217;s fault though&#8230; the pump broke and he&#8217;s out of work right now so things weren&#8217;t able to get fixed. The swimmable pool went from a nice clear color, to this:<\/p>\n<p><center><img src=\"http:\/\/www.baileybegood.com\/img\/blog\/2013\/May2013\/MondayMischiefMay6.jpg\" alt=\"Monday Mischief: Noisy Toads!\"><br \/>\n<em>Not very appealing for humans and doggies to swim in&#8230;<br \/>\nIs it..?<\/em><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>These toads were big, but they weren&#8217;t as big as the one mommy found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baileybegood.com\/home\/2011\/11\/06\/bad-bad-bufo-toad\/\">two years ago<\/a>! That one was HUGE!<\/p>\n<p>Sooo, these toads wouldn&#8217;t be that bad if, 1. They were in someone else&#8217;s pool, and 2. If they didn&#8217;t make this long drawn out vibrating noise that I couldn&#8217;t repeat for you if I tried. Even when the television is turned up, you can still hear them singing to each other.<\/p>\n<p>At first there was only one toad. Each time my hu-family heard it, they would rush outside and they would try and catch it from the pool. I kept running around the pool, but I never got to see anything. <\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.baileybegood.com\/img\/blog\/2013\/May2013\/MondayMischiefMay6c.jpg\" alt=\"Monday Mischief: Noisy Toads!\"><br \/>\n<em>These little creatures swim fast!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.baileybegood.com\/img\/blog\/2013\/May2013\/MondayMischiefMay6e.jpg\" alt=\"Monday Mischief: Noisy Toads!\"><br \/>\n<em>He would disappear under the water and<br \/>\npop up on a different side of the pool.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.baileybegood.com\/img\/blog\/2013\/May2013\/MondayMischiefMay6d.jpg\" alt=\"Monday Mischief: Noisy Toads!\"><br \/>\n<em>This little bugger ended up jumping out<br \/>\nof the overflow on the side of the pool.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s how mommy caught him one of the times.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.baileybegood.com\/img\/blog\/2013\/May2013\/MondayMischiefMay6f.jpg\" alt=\"Monday Mischief: Noisy Toads!\"><br \/>\n<em>I tried to get a good look, but it&#8217;s<br \/>\ndangerous for doggies to get close to toads.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.baileybegood.com\/img\/blog\/2013\/May2013\/MondayMischiefMay6g.jpg\" alt=\"Monday Mischief: Noisy Toads!\"><br \/>\n<em>This was the first toad that daddy caught<br \/>\nand let go down the street.

And there it was&#8230; a toad singing. Then another. There were now two toads, and they were singing to each other. Mommy ran outside with me and daddy got a box for her to put them in&#8230; but first she had to catch them.<\/p>\n<p>It was a little tricky, &#8217;cause each time mommy got close to one of them in the pool, they would disappear under the murky water. It&#8217;s like they knew she was coming closer. Are toads smart? It sure seemed like it!<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, mommy caught both toads and put them in a box. The next day, daddy took them over to a park (far from our home), and for more than a week the backyard has been a toad-free zone! <\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.baileybegood.com\/img\/blog\/2013\/May2013\/MondayMischiefMay6b.jpg\" alt=\"Monday Mischief: Noisy Toads!\"><br \/>\n<em>These two slimy creatures are now living<br \/>\nthe high life in their own fence-free lake.<\/em><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>Have <em>you <\/em>ever had any toad trouble?<\/p>\n<p><P>&nbsp;<\/P><br \/>\n<strong>Pet Portraits&#8230;<\/strong> Have you ever thought of getting a portrait done of your treasured furry &#038; feathered babies?
