I went swimming in my pond!
It was so gross
..
I hauled the filter out to clean it yet again, and as I was trying to reposition it back into the pond, my foot slipped on the algae-covered liner, and WHOOOOOOOOOOOSH there I went, completely under, flat on my back.
AND- on a sad note, my cat got out five days ago, during a fireworks display in the neighborhood. She is a skittish timid persian- never had a paw outdoors in her life. She loved to sit in the window and dream though. Hides all day, Runs from the other cats, the dogs, my son...only would come be in my face at night. Somehow the screen got knocked in in my daughters room....and that must be how she got out. I figure she jumped up to look out, and overjumped and went out...or she was up there looking out and another cat jumped up there and scared her out.
I cant find her anywhere, and nobody has come across her in their bushes. I think it took me two days to discover that she was gone. It was a moment of "hmm..I havent seen Princess anywhere"..."when did I see her last?" I have put signs up in the neighborhood, and sure do hope someone calls.
I STILL have this friendly toulouse goose who needs a home. Henry has grown/matured enough now to actually chase my daughter in the backyard, and bites the dog, pant legs, etc...I dont want to imagine what next spring will be like with the new goose AND Henry and Penelope.
The new goose who needs a home has adjusted well, and you would never know it was almost dead when I found it. Follows me about the yard, quite friendly.Quieter than the other two, for sure.
