An old toad

[Schnauzer]

During the summer my boyfriend found a very large bark-colored female southern toad with small eyes, and gave her to me. She adjusted well with the other toads, which oddly in captivity, seem to be very social creatures. She ate well and plumped up. I received news last night of her passing. She just went to a corner by herself and peacefully went. Mum looked her over and couldn't find evidence of any illness or problems. Judging by her size, I would say she lived a very long life, and definitely a happy one at the end. She grouped with the other toads and had all the crickets she could want. I never got to name her, and I never got a picture of her. Actually I don't have pictures of any of my current toads (now 2 females and 1 male). One of my other females is also very large and gray with big eyes. She seems old as well and I have had her for a few years. I will take pictures of them over Thanksgiving break because I get to go home. I hate it when a pet passes, but it feels even worse when I don't have a picture of them to smile upon in memory.
