Poor Fishies

I got a call on Monday morning from my husband telling me that something had gotten into our pond sometime the night before and eaten our fish. We wondered at first, if they had infact been eaten. Then he found one of the fish minus its head laying in the yard and it was pretty much confirmed. So those pretty fish are all gone, all four of them. We are guessing it must have been a raccoon that got them. It's really the only animal with the dexterity and "tools" to have done so. I guess it at least takes care of me wondering what I was going to do with the fish next winter. I had already decided that I didn't want to have them inside again. The fish tank was just too much of a hassle to take care of (especially after the accident)and I think it made the house smell like fish. So now I am trying to sell the fishtank and get it out of the house. I might get some little goldfish to put in there but maybe not. I definitely am not getting any big ones again because I don't want whatever animal to think there is an available snack all the time.

We are talking again about getting a dog. I think I will stop by PAW today to see if they have any that jump out at me. We need something smallish because it will be inside most of the time. We will just have to see though. At any rate, I will look and see if one of the dogs gets my attention. I realy don't want something yappy so I don't know what kind of luck I will have.

I got the spare bedroom all painted and looking good last weekend. I wasn't sure about the color at first but decided that I would trust myself. I am glad I did because I love the color now. I just have to get a few more things for the room and it will be done. I have a desk up there that I will use for my sewing/crafting but I need a chair to put with it. Then once I get my bed from my mom's house it will all be completed. I was able to reuse all of the furniture in the room so I didn't have to buy anything new (except a chair which will likely come from a yardsale or salvation army). I just painted Steve's old desk and it looks great. I hope it will be a nice place for my guests to stay and for me to do my craft stuff.
