LOL! Your DH has a funny streak! I have toads that hang out in the front. BTW, the bog/pond is in the back. My toads are kind of dumb I think. PJ

ROFLMBO!!!
That is too funny, I nearly spit my coke out when I read that...
I love my frogs..and was soo excited when I found a tree frog on my french doors..I love the little sticky feet. Now you need to put a frog house out there....
Congratulations!
Take pictures..I'd love to see your pond!

If it's really loud, it may be a toad instead of a frog. I much prefer the frog's sound than the toad's. A big frog sounds like rubbing on a balloon to me.

I agree, toads are louder and frogs do sound like that Marti. Sometimes the ones in the surrounding stock tanks sound like those diggery doos, lol
Denise, if they have *found* each other if you go out early enough you can see them together and see if it is toads

The smallest little toad can make the loudest noises.

The toads in my yard hang by the dog poo. I couldn't figure out why until I saw one grab a big ole fly that had come for the poo. So now I leave a couple of piles for the toads.
We have lots of the little tree frogs. They are always jumping out of pots and scaring me. Boy are they noisy! How can something that tiny make that much noise?
I had a neighbor who used to complain about all the noise the toads and frogs made. I never told her that we had ponds. She was an unpleasant woman. Thankfully they packed their bags and went back to Boston.
congrats on the frog!
Tally HO!

Okay - my mistake. I went outside the other night to take a closer look at our frog and it turns out that it is a toad! Sly little bugger! I had to sneak closer to get a look with my flashlight and saw the bumpy skin. Then last night I was out looking for the toad again in his usual spot under the waterfall because I heard him croaking. Across from our waterfall is a small metal frog sculpture and would you believe that sitting right there beside me and behind this frog sculpture was the toad! He wasn't scared of me at all! Silly little thing! I also noticed tadpoles in the pond today just hatching out of their eggs from a string of slimy egg casing strung along one of my pond plants. It was very interesting to see them hatching, although they will probably become fish food for the goldfish who always seem to be hungry. And the saga of the frog, er, toad continues . . .

Congrats!!! I would love to see your pond as well... The toads are everywhere ..LOL I find eveidence in the garage regularly. and the bull frogs stay out by the EE's.. we also have a couple of tree frogs that seem to love the EE's and live under the handle of the hose bib...I love the sound.. I have an alarm clock that has cricket sounds.. I can't sleep without it...

My boys complain about the noise the toad makes, but I tell them he is singing them to sleep. They'll get used to it.
