My DH and I want to have a small pond in our backyard one day and this is
such an excellent group! I have no experience [yet] to ever help others
with their questions here, but may I ask... I see a lot of posts about
animals that commit suicide in ponds. What do you do with them when you
find them? How do you dispose of them?

We have wetlands directly behind our house and farm land in front of it
with
the rest of a new housing community to the sides. I've seen many, many
wonderful birds fliting around out there and hopefully they'll begin using
the new birdbath we just got for them. We have lots of bunnies scampering
around. And the chorus of frogs at night is so nice. Just the other day
we
had a weasel stroll through our backyard! I'm sure there's plenty of
other
critters out there.

I know it's naughty, but I typically add them to my compost heap. In mid
season they are break down in just a few weeks, that is if a scavenger
doesn't come along for a meal.

Got the scare of the week .... was about the cut off the
lotus flower, looked down in the pond and there was
a Head with Eyes starring staright ahead! I knew it was
dead but what was it. Not a big kitty - NO! It was the
head that had been blown off the owl statue!!! Phew ....

SLOMLAP = Spraying Liquid On Monitor Laughing At Post

Okay, so now it's a toss-up between BEOKAM and SLOMLAP!!! Both good
suggestions.


SLOMLAP actually made me SLOMLAP so I'd have to vote for it. But I am also a
traditionalist and since ROTFLMAO is the most popular, I would also like to
suggest SOMLOL (Spitting On Monitor, Laughing Out Loud).

On a lot of listservs, it's simply referred to as spew.

I've been on the 'net way too long I guess. *grin*
