Here's the background on this story....the other night, I believe Friday night, Jeff came home and when he went outside, he noticed that our pond looked as if it had been "disturbed". The fountain was knocked over, rocks were moved, and some of the water plants were messed up. Since he'd just put 3 fish into the pond the night before, we decided that it must have been a raccoon trying to get the fish and eat them. Jeff talked to the guy who does the maintenance on our 2 saltwater tanks and he also said it had to be a raccoon. This little event was all I heard about after Jeff found it because he was convinced our little fish were doomed...and he was mad that he had to get in the pond and readjust everything that was helter-skelter.
So, we are out in the backyard yesterday with Justin and Jenny, grilling on the grill, and Jeff runs into the house to get me (I was grabbing my sunglasses), and says to me, "You gotta come out here! I think it was Kaz who messed the pond up!" I said, "Why, what is he doing?" and Jeff said, "He's out here now with his front paws in, and he's pawing at the water. I really think he is going to get in". So out I come, because if this dog jumps in, I gotta see this, AND we don't even know if the crazy dog can swim (our boxer Magnus couldn't, and neither can Lulu our bulldog). No sooner do I come outside than Kaz runs around to the opposite side of the pond, puts his front 2 paws in, then pushes off and starts SWIMMING in the pond! We were all laughing hysterically! He swam through the deep side, then came to the shallow side and just stood there, giving me enough time to grab the camera! What a goon! Needless to say, we now know that the pond destroying culprit is NOT a raccoon...it is a Dogue De Bordeaux who is hot and just wanted to cool down!
