Last September, one of my roommates ended up having to leave Bermuda. Luckily, our friend Ashley was able to move in. With her, came a French Bulldog named Zoe.
I've never lived with a dog before, but she's a good dog – for the most part. Generally, she's pretty calm, and hardly ever barks. She also makes a great vacuum cleaner in the kitchen, as she's always there if you drop something.
What may be her downfall is catching toads. I took her out for a quick walk one night. When we approached the driveway, I saw that she had a massive toad between her jaws. She was doing her best to flatten this thing. But try as I may, I could not get her to drop it. Eventually I picked her up, and that caused her to lose her grip. When Ashley got home and I told her about it, she asked if Zoe was foaming at the mouth. Apparently, toads are quite poisonous to dogs. Luckily, this time she wasn't affected.
After yoga last Monday, I found out that she'd caught another one. Once back in the house, Zoe was walking in circles and then her legs started giving out. When she had a seizure, she was rushed to the emergency vet.
She's fine now, and on medication. However, whenever I walk her I can tell she's hunting for more toads. Silly dog.

OMG you had me worried there for a moment that Zoe wasn't ok. relief. my suggestion is to muzzle her on walks. she's a real cutie.
