We were in Hereford, TX over the 4th of July visiting the Adams Family. One night we were there Trey excitedly came up to the house holding a prize. He found this little guy...
Mr. Horned Toad. Mr. Horned Lizard. Mr. Horned Frog. Or what I grew up knowing them as- Horny Toads!
He has great memories of finding these endangered reptiles at his Mamaw's house in Midland. To be honest they kind of freak me out- as do all reptiles- I mean.. they're known to spit blood from their eyes for goodness sake! But... he was so excited to show Charlie & introduce a part of his childhood to him.
At first he wasn't too impressed with the spiky toad. |
I was worried Trey would be disappointed.
But then.... He's more brave than me! No way I would touch that thing. |
Wait.. maybe I don't wanna touch it. Why is he so puffy? |
Watch out for the eyes! Point him away from my baby!
Okay, Daddy. I'll pet him just for you. |
Time to say goodbye to his new friend. We've stressed him out enough for his endagered life! |
Farewell... may you find many yukky bugs to eat. Thanks for being the official reptile of the great state of Texas! |
I need a telephoto lens so this doesn't have to happen again.
And then just because I love y'all and I want you to feel all warm & fuzzy... here's the view I get when my sweet boy RUNS to me.
No more vampire teeth! His front center tooth finally popped through. |
Hope everyone is having a great week!
