Pondy Pants

Miss Sassy Pants' giant head

I came home from work to find my pond almost empty and water spraying every where! One of the pond hoses had come off the filter some how??? I really wasn't in the mood to deal with the mess, as I am still sick. I was planning on cleaning the pond, doing a water change, and fixing the rocks this summer. Oh well, I didn't really have a choice in the matter so, I might as well get it done today. I put on my shorts and hopped in the pond. Can I just say slimy and gross! Ewwwwww Fish and frogs swimming against my legs, nibbling at my toes is not my idea of fun! Poor Miss Sassy Pants (one of my gigantic Koi) kept frantically swimming around my ankles wondering what the hell was going on! I found one of my Bubble Gold fish stranded on a plant shelf behind a plant. I put him back in the water. I don't know how long he was stranded on the shelf out of water??? Perhaps I now have a brain damaged gold fish?? Everyone else seemed to be okay.

  2. I love your pond! I wish I was so motivated in our backyard, but I can barely keep my herb garden growing!

  5. I didn't know you had a pond! If you've posted on it before, I missed it. It's beautiful, and I'm so glad you got there in time to rescue your little water-critters!
