fishing in a koi pond

Curiosity, desire, or just the mere fact that Jack is getting all the 'press' lately, led Sam to take a nose dive into our friends koi pond last night. Everyone is fine - just a bit traumatized with a minor cut on the lip and horrifically smelly as the 3 koi fish that resided there last year didn't make it through the winter. (There is actually no adjective in the dictionary that quite captures the atrocious smell on Sam). Harry couldn't quite figure out what was rotting in the backyard when he stepped out there until he discovered all the kids gathered around the small pond with sticks and wide eyes in hopes they would pull out something grand.  Little did we know, it would be Sam covered in slime.   Needless to say we are keeping the excitement around here high.

No way-- That is too funny Ali (lol)! I hope your weekend was lovely in the light of the sun and warmth (with the exception of... smelly fish). Enjoyed the story. Take care, AK

Hee! Sweet Sam, covered in pond slime. :) I want you all to know that I'm thinking of you and sending you good energy. Our new little puppy Lyla gives us abundant love in the form of slobbery wet kisses, and I'll send some of that puppy love your way as well! Miss your classes as always, Ali! Namaste y'all (as they say in North Carolina), Kristin (Gorczynski) Young

If the Certains aren't hunting, they're fishing. Great story! You're all in our thoughts.
