Every fall from the fishpond we carry 'emDown to the basement - their winter aquarium
And when they expire, we don't flush e'm - we bury 'em!

Sorry for the tardy post - just spent a long day in and out of the OSU vet hospital in Columbus, trying to track down the cause of our dog's persistent cough. Spent some serious dollars to learn - not very much. The good news - no evidence of a big tumor or mass or anything. The not as good news - so it must be something they couldn't catch by X-Ray or ultrasound. There is more they can do to get to the bottom of it, and they changed anti cough meds, and they got a bunch of fluid out of her chest. So she is better off than when we showed up. And right now, as we just got home, she is fairly doped up and just lying here, moving her eyes around to follow us, but not moving much else. Ah, the joys of the geriatric pooch! And the things we would do for her!

Hope she is feeling better. Sounds like your trip did some good, eh?
Soon those fish will be back in the pond, eh? Can't wait for warm weather!
Excellent F poem & post!! You're a regular Ogden Nash! Sure hope they find out what ails your pooch. They are like our kids, I know.
You are a good Friend to your Finned and Four legged Friends.
Get well wishes being sent your way.
Sorry to hear about your sick poochie! I know too well how much money I will spend to ensure my pet's health! By the way - you treat your fish in the pond much nicer than my hubby. He leaves his out there. (But he does have a floating pond warmer! we had a fish make it 2 winters only to be eaten by a Blue Heron...)
it is so nice not to let your fish freeze by providing a winter home!! i hope your dog is waking up cough-free this morning and feeling better.
Love the fish and the fact that they don't get flushed. :)
Sorry about your dog...I hope he gets better soon. He was not a smoker was he??? take care, suz
As I write this, our cat Pigeon is at the vet getting her teeth cleaned, an possibly a couple bad ones pulled. I know she's going to not feel well this evening when she's back home. I hope your four legged friend is on the mend. Maybe a spell of nice weather would help?
Thanks for your good thoughts for our dog. She slept very soundly -and so did we!
Yeah, we bring the fish in because our pond freezes all the way to the bottom and we don't need such small frozen fillets!
And we bury them, I suppose, for the fertilizer value?
