Well, I for one am glad to know this about the toads. My dog and I encounter MANY frogs (toads? I don't know what they are) on our walks after dark. He wants to sniff them, would maybe do more, but I always steer him away. Sometimes I don't realize they are there until he stops to sniff.
There are a lot of species who used to "not be in an area" that have been found to have spread. The snakes in the Everglades are an example. The zebra mussels in the MI lakes are another.
I don't know if these frogs we see are poisonous, but just in case, I will keep a more vigilant eye out.
