Emily and the toad

I've said it before, I'll say it again - border collies are the BEST!

I let the girls out a couple of mornings ago - one of those rainy mornings. I let them out into the garage area, which feeds to the back yard. Lo and behold there was a HUGE toad - bigger than a baseball - sitting there. Loretta takes one look and says, "oh no, no, it's too ugly to even LOOK at" as she daintily steps over it (and literally averting her eyes). Ruby looks, and takes one huge step over it. "Whatever." Emily, though - Emily sees it and GOES for it! Barking, snapping, herding. The toad went towards the refrigerator, Emily herds it back. Went for the back porch, not what Emily wanted. Finally, the poor thing hopped under a metal shelf rack, which seemed to at last satisfy Miss Emily. Not sure if it was out of sight out of mind, or whether her fun was just finished for the morning.
