Our Friend, Jazzy

Well, we met a new friend this week.  We took the liberty of naming her Jazzy, and assuming it was a girl.  This horny toad gave us hours of fun.  Our friend Jake called Thomas with the big news, he had not only found a horny toad, but managed to catch it for Thomas! We rushed over to their house to see the glorious beast, and there she sat, our new friend, Jazzy.  We took her home in a jar with leaves and rocks, but she did not last long inside, we had to get her out and play with her.  (don't worry, i checked online to make sure they are not poisonous, and they are harmless) We took her outside and Marilyn took a turn playing with her, we had to keep a close eye on them because when we first let her look at the horny toad, she tried to squeeze it in her hand.  But by the end of our encounter, Marilyn was just trying to give Jazzy rocks.  We were going to keep Jazzy, but we learned from our experience with our tarantula, Bob, that we can't keep them alive very long in captivity.  So we took it to an abandoned field (across the street from our house for those of you who want to to try and find her) and set her free.  Here are pictures of our encounter with little Jazzy.
