One Fish, Two Fish…
one fish, two fish...
Sigh is one of three crazy dogs that Carter and I live with. I’ll introduce the other two later. Sigh was born in August of 2000; she is a Weimaraner, with beautiful eyes and a lovable disposition. Most Weimers are a bit crazy and Sigh is no exception, once she is focused on something it is hard to distract her, however once she moves on to something else, she is all about that. Sigh, true to her Weimaraner nature, loves to hunt anything, including fish! We have a Koi pond, with yes our “pet” Koi and goldfish in it. When we first put in the Koi pond, Sigh would spend at least a couple of hours a day by the pond, just laying around, watching the fish. She was totally focused on those fish, not in an ” I’m going to catch me one of those fish” kind of way, she just appeared mesmerized by them. So we thought. She was however focused on them in that ” I’m going to catch me one of those fish” kind of way, as I found out when I brought them out to go to the potty, I had no more than turned around when I saw Sigh had snagged our biggest Koi “Tinkle” between her teeth. Tinkle was slippery; literally, after all it is a fish with a slime coating and all. Tinkle slipped from between her teeth back into the pond. There was some damage to Tinkles scales, but with some medication placed in the pond, Tinkle made a full recovery
I see them and they are mine!
, thank goodness. And then there was Sigh, the fish hunter! We had to put a fence and gate around the pond, and Sigh has been banished from viewing the fish, except from a distance, with a fence between her and her prey.
