    I love your fishies! I'm afraid Abby would go fishing for dinner if I tried to have them. LOL

    Dorothy,
    They look very healthy! I am sure you enjoy watching them!
    **Linda**, my dogs did the same kept getting my fish and eating them. I never knew dogs liked fish. When I used to take them to Petsmart...their favorite thing to do was stick their nose in the fish aquariums on the floor. They did not even try to grab any of the dog treats all over....just went after the fish!!!! LOL!!!

    Thanks everyone! I got these last summer. Just babies then.
    They are 6-8 inches. Not very big, but growing.
    I really enjoy watching them. My GS age 2 loves to feed them. So far hes not trying to catch them. LOL
    I use to have a couple of really large ones. (Big Boy and Supper)LOL
    Don't have any dogs. My Uncles dog wanted to use my pond for his personal pool a few years ago.
    I threaten him and his dog!!! OK OK it was just a threat.

    Picture from last year of my "moat" 3X33 (About)
    Need alot more rocks around it and a larger bridge.
    But I like it. And the fish enjoy all the room.

    Beautiful, big koi Dorothy! Your 'moat' will look wonderful with the stones around it. Do you have a pump with it? BTW, are there birds in that bird cage?

  • 17 years ago

    Eloise,
    I have a small pump, real need a bigger one. What I REALLY want is a water wheel on one end.
    But DH..... LOL
    No Birds in the cages. There are 4 hanging around in the garden.
    Brother was going to throw them away. One mans trash another woman's treasure! LOL
    I have to work on gathering rocks on road trips and vacations. None around here unless you buy them.

    And I LOVE the home and the surroundings for your koi's Dorothy.

    I love your moat!!! Is that what the fish are in? I love all of your nature and plants it looks so natural! I was going to ask about the birdcage too. I know alot of people hang their birds outside to enjoy the fresh air and I thought your bird would be in heaven in those surroundings! Maybe you need some birds for your cages??? You can also put some trailing plants in your cages. You probably enjoy them just as they are. Anyway, just love it!

    ROCKS!!!!! Oh, how I want rocks!

    My H would be disconnecting our PC if he knew I saw rocks in a garden. We always fly and/or ride a motorcycle on vacation. Even when we have some room in the side bags, he simply refuses to let me bring a rock home.

    BTW, my daughter did bring home a "rock" she tripped over in the Mediterranean. It's actually a piece of carved marble. She was 15 at the time and weighed about 95 lb. She carried that "rock" (about 15 lb.) in her carry-on bag for the remainder of her tour and then on three (or four) flights home.

    Your water garden and koi are beautiful. Keep posting pix as you complete your "moat."

  • 17 years ago

    No flying on vacation. But I have talked people into bring me rocks! LOL
    I had a friend bring one back from Italy and another person brought 2 back from Alaska.
    They are small and in the house but I have them! I have other outside from different places.

    We do some camping in N. Ga. I get some up there.
    Amelia you sound like me. I can even spot a rock in the dark! LOL
    You need a rock in the garden!!!

    Joyce yes the koi are in the moat. But I also have 2 other smaller ponds.
    I have thought about planting something in the bird cages but have not got around to it yet. Any ideas???

    Hugs
