Anaxyrus americanus
It was living in our friends pool (on the mountain!)
She took these pictures for me to post here
The dark spots do not appear to have the pattern of a Fowler's Toad and it looks like there is separation between the parotid gland and the eye crest, so I would say American Toad.
These are a pair of toads mating and laying eggs. This looks like the common American Toad (Bufo americanus), but there are similar species.
