A few years ago we noticed there was a total of three toads in our window well. I think it was due to all the rain and flooding we had experienced. I wasn't sure how they had got in there, but we noticed a tiny tunnel on the side of the window well. They created a tiny entrance. We had two in one window well and one that stayed in another alone. My girls gave each toad a name. We had Adorbs, Sweetie, and Little One.  A new home for our toad friend Adorbs sitting in his new pond Adorbs emerging from his new home Sweetie sitting on a rock light with a cotton seed in her mouth About a month ago we were hit with flooding.

I'll just say the cleanup process was not fun, not one bit.  We were able to rescue one of the toads, Adorbs. We have not been able to find Sweetie. I really hope she found a way ou...
