I am so sorry that one of your pups was the victim of these vile frogs. Thank you so much for the info, especially here in Florida where it is apparently perdonimant.

That's horrible. My Miko always "plays" with the frogs outside our house. That's one of his favorite things to do in the summer when we go out at night, he immediately starts looking for frogs. He barks at them and slaps at them till they leave the yard. The're not the poisonous ones though. I have to keep an eye out for those boogers!! Sorry to hear about the poor little furbaby.

Please don't let him Play with any Frogs or toads. It may look cute but you never know.

Your poor dog, how very sad, and you know it had to suffer, Thank you so much for posting all the important information about this frog. I wish they had a map of the united states where this frog is so common.

I have heard about it all my life, live in the mounains of Colorado, and if I am not mistaken, they are also in Colo.

Because of this warning, I am sure the awarness will save the lives of many dogs and cats, and make people so aware they will keep their animals in. I only let my dogs have run of the decks, as I was so afraid of a spider biting them and of course they are all poisonious, these little yorkies are so fragil to the outdoors, they really have to be watched, we have a lot of birds of pray.

And not the most dangerous preditor seems to be other humans stealing them!!!!!!

Daisy Mae thank you so much for all the great information, and please know how saddened I am over your loss. It breaks my heart!!!! You can be sure I will be watching mine like a hawk!!!!!!!!!

Love to you and yours,
Donna Jean

Eww. Its ugly. I hate Frogs/Toads. REPTILES! lol

LoveMyJake · 07-30-2007, 02:38 PM

awwww I'm so sorry to hear about the puppy.

red98vett · 07-30-2007, 02:41 PM

oh no !! They're deadly for dogs and thank God we don't have them here in Texas cause we have a ton of toads that come out at night - I freaked the first time Chanel actually touched one when we first moved into this house & called Emergency - they told me Texas doesn't have poisenous toads - but they DO emit a bitter taste that will make dogs salivate.

That poor baby - your mom's people will have to be very very careful - Certain States have a big problem with them

She may want to put warnings with every puppy sold

Rest in peace little sweetheart
