@Teila Yes they are bullfrogs and are eaten by vagrants consequently they are dying out and yes they are posionus - also have toads as well. I don't know what is wrong with him I am so worried just had to clean him up again full of maggots and his tail is a mess- anyway phoned my vet and he will look at him tomorrow - have coffee on - going to be a long night....

I am sorry about the fish, I should keep my mouth shut, they look Koi, anyway you have lovely fish either way

I enjoy goldfish and currently have about 30 ranging from a couple of inches to almost a foot in length, my oldest are about 15 years old.
 
My goldfish spend the winter in my basement in a large tank, the big ones go out to my dinky pond for the summer.



I am desperately missing the summer at this point, i forgot how hot and stinky it gets.
 
Beautiful pond OHLD! Love the gargoyles and the natural rock. Those are some good sized fish you have, how nice you've been able to keep them for so long.
 
@Teila you're right...until they say 'no' it can still happen with DH's job. Good news on yours!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you

I wasn't as soft hearted as my co-pond owners. I did nothing, and I mean nothing. We had a little waterfall and that served to keep most of the pond open all winter. Sometimes it would freeze deep and solid around the edges, except on the end where the waterfall was, but not once in the 6 years we had it did it ever freeze over. The fish overwintered fine, probably not happily but fine, and so did my water lilies, which bloomed every year. Dunno....I didn't do nuffin'.


 
Seeing all those fish makes me miss mine - I used to keep tropical fish, but having a 16 month old who didn't sleep didn't leave much time for cleaning them out (I had quite a few tanks and bred a few). Gorgeous goldfish everyone!

I have a couple more bird photos to share. Our daughter desperately wanted to hold the older finches and we needed her small hand to extricate them from the box! They are so cute now they have a few feathers and their eyes are open, and they kept begging for food (which was even cuter). The parents only go in to feed the babies as it's very hot here so we'll have lots of opportunities to handle them.



I got a slightly better photo of Pinkie's little ones. You can see one little face amongst the fluff. Pinkie was not happy with me but at least she just growls at me and goes to the other end of the box, unlike Daffodil who, yesterday was hanging out of the box trying to work out how she could bite me!



whoop whoop, I do hope your cat makes it. Poor thing!
