The Toad.
1. It was a toad. It was late when I took Maxi outside last night to relieve himself before bedtime. I was sitting on the couch falling asleep to Storage wars and was finally able to catch my breath after a long day. Maxi, as is his habit, appeared out of nowhere on my right side by jumping up on the ottoman, dropping one of my slippers in my lap along with play barking at me, menacingly, and baring his teeth. I said to him, "OK, OK, I take you outside" and moved to get up quickly. He immediately stopped barking, jumped off the ottoman, and as I started to walk, ran around me in a quick circle. His doggy eyes were very excited as he continued circling me, panting while I lumbered toward the front door, the toes on my left foot half numb from neuropathy.
