One of my pointers insists on picking up toads. She now only holds them til she starts foaming at the mouth, and I yell at her to drop it.

What is it that makes them foam like that? Ours used to do that a lot

A toxin that the toad releases through it’s body.

My lab who passed some years ago would attack and destroy cardboard tubes. Christmas wrapping time was his favorite. I'd give them to him and he would stand on them and tear them to pieces in just a minute or so. I would say to everyone if hostile aliens attack earth, and they look like cardboard tubes, Drake would be the planets first line of defense.
