My heart goes...I'm so sorry to hear about the fish. My heart goes out to both you and Dinah, because she surely has felt awful about the whole situation. I'm neurotic and always wish I could just go back and fix something so that it never happened and I don't have to feel the grief; perhaps that's what Dinah was trying to do. I snap at anything these days, so I'm sure I would have snapped if I came home and found different fish. How great you all love animals so much; we never had any pets because my mom was scared of them. The bottom line is you and Dinah love each other and the animals. I suspect she learned a painful lesson and would never try to replace your horse. I think there's a short animated film in all this.... It helps me to make art out of a situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13524464.post-36778825012274682742007-08-09T07:04:00.000-06:002007-08-09T07:04:00.000-06:00I hope Dinah got some rest and doesn't feel misera...I hope Dinah got some rest and doesn't feel miserable.

We like color in koi without spending bucks for the correct patterns. The fish are not eating, so they may not be with us long... <BR/><BR/>Of the first three fish we got, only one survives, 13 years later, and that's Dinah's fish, an ugly naked, now king of the pond.<BR/><BR/>The whole thing is like some awful mystery which we don't want to solve.<BR/><BR/>I don't think she left a trail for us to discover, katy, though it could seem like that. One of her biggest problems is inability to throw things away. And since I've been ultra respectful of her space and privacy, she doesn't even think of the trail she leaves behind. Her mind doesn't work like that. We're easy parents because she's a very principled person. Sounds high and mighty but I think describes her.<BR/><BR/>She plans to be a vet so she'll see a lot of animal horror sad sad along that road.<BR/><BR/>I see how funny it all is, but, I'm still in a weird state, thought I was having an LSD flashback this morning, and I only ever took it once only once.<BR/><BR/>The fish pond illo is from a catalog I was about to list on ebay, but then became so charmed with it that I just sat there looking at the pictures of all the 1920s carnival novelties.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00874162149979602139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13524464.post-4313158659077077142007-08-08T17:51:00.000-06:002007-08-08T17:51:00.000-06:00Katy, I know.

No, the Hoppy history is not the reason. Face it, Dinah wanted to get caught---she left clues around, clues galore. It was the only way she could tell you. She needs another vacation, or a lighter schedule. The fish pond ticket/image is heaven.
