Younger daughter says I am a terrorist
It all started when my mom's car died. My despicable BIL decided that
he could fix it and changed the alternator, found that it still wouldn't start, and threw up his hands in defeat. "Great," says I, "now I get to fix both the car and whatever goof-ups he has created. Day before yesterday I worked on mom's car. Some of you may know that last year we moved to a newly built house just down the street from our old one which we kept, fixed up, and had Mom move into. My two ponds are at her house. While fixing the car I noticed that the rear pond was a bit low and began filling it. (can you see the ending yet?) Sure enough, I let the danged water run overnight. Yesterday morning, a /great/ morning otherwise, I found my 5- eight year old- 18 inch koi all dead along with about a hundred goldfish from 1 inch to over 8 inches. I'm heartbroken, of course. Yesterday I was devastated, began crying several times while cleaning up my scene of destruction. First time in longer than I can remember. Younger daughter says I'm a terrorist because I killed the entire population with a chemical weapon of mass destruction, tap water. I just had to laugh, even though I am still crying inside. Having been responsible for more than my share of death I am considering filling in both ponds and putting in a flower garden. Cybe R. Wizard -- Unofficial "Wizard of Odds," A.H.P.

Oh, Cybe, I'm so sorry. And you too, Jammer. I can't tell you how much the labrador girls have helped me get through my health woes. Rosie, our stress barometer, brings me socks when the times get rough. We gauge our stress by the number of socks she brings us. Her record is five socks and a dryer sheet. k30a and the watergardening labradors http://www.geocities.com/watergarden...dors/home.html |

So deeply sorry for your pain and the trauma. I hope you are not serious about filling the pond in. It won't make you feel any better IMO. I lost all of my koi and most of my goldfish to raccoons a few years ago (used a kiddie pool as a temp pool while I dug out the old one). I swore I would never get koi again and lived with just the survivors for at least the rest of that year. Then the next year I saw a 2 gorgeous 3" butterfly koi I could not resist, followed by a couple of fancy goldfish the year after. I don't give them names anymore (that's a lie... moonbeam, sunlight, ...) but I still enjoy their beauty. DK "Cybe R.

Horrible story Cybe, what a nightmare :( Such a small mistake, such a harsh
result. Hope you bounce back on your feet soon. Can relate to the idea of filling the ponds in, but give it a few weeks/months and see how you think then eh ? Theo "Cybe R. Wizard" schreef in bericht news:20030911170401.17c9431e.cyber_wizard@mindspri ng.com... (can you see the ending yet?) |

I ran over my cat a
few weeks ago. 16 yr old darling Mainecoon. It destroyed me. She was my baby. Oh dear :-( I was reading rec.ponds to put my mind off our missing cat ... (a Coon as well as you may know, gone 3 days now, wife is about to leave on a holiday trip and is worried stiff) Guess it's not working. Think I'll stay in bed today, pillow over head, trying to think rosey thoughts. Sorry to hear about your cat jammer, that is a real heartbreaker. Theo |

Kitty kitty always moved when I came in the drive, except this time and I ran over him. Vet says it was when he got up and ran that did him in, tore everything up inside.. I cried for weeks.

I was in Florida with my ill father and my daughter overfilled the pond - 3 days worth of water - and I lost a real beautiful koi and all my original fish I put in the pond to cycle it back in Houston. I moved all 30 of these fish from Houston to Ohio without any problems and they overwintered just fine. Now they are in heaven and I started over. Although, I did have about 5 fish survive... I don't know how along with several babies I picked up the pieces and moved on (although I do get weepy thinking of my buddies and I wasn't here to help).
