I like that idea!Maybe a giant Koi pond!
Have you found a new veterinarian? I don't blame you for getting the house in order, before making decisions on anything else. How are you adjusting to the change in weather?The cats seem to have adjusted to this house ok. The trip down was hard on them so maybe part of them being ok with the new house, is just being out of the car.
Still debating on getting chickens. Things will have get settled inside the house before we can tackle anything outside.
