Backyard Friend

Toby has found a friend in our backyard.  His name is Toad.  I have been trying to keep him away from Toad, but Toby is VERY strong.  He has found him at various places in our backyard garden.  So, every time outside, he goes to those places to see if Toad is there.  This morning, I saw that he was interacting with something at the base of the fence where it winds beside the house.  Of course, it was Toad, but I noted something that surprised me!  Toad was NOT trying to get away from Toby.  Toad was enjoying this association as well.  But Toby does tend to get a little aggressive making me fear for Toad.  When Toby put a paw on him, Toad lept TOWARDS Toby, not away!  Then he went beyond Toby and under the fence.  I think Toad is enjoying this interaction with a monster!
