Then we were twenty-three!

Three Koi joined our family yesterday.

Our pond has settled to the point where Jean thought it would be good to get some fish.  So off to a pond and fish supplies store in Grants Pass to seek advice.  We settled on some Koi and a water lily plant.

We were advised to acclimatise the fish in terms of water temperature by slowly mixing pond water into the bags containing each fish.

Meanwhile, Pharaoh took advantage of clean, green grass to give his back a bit of a rubdown.

Ah, that feels so much better!

And Hazel pondered what ‘Dad’ was up to.

Not seen this happen before?

But eventually it was time for the three Koi to slip away into the depths of their new home.

Wonder if I'll ever find my two mates?

The twenty-three?

Nine dogs, five cats, four chickens, two miniature horses and three Koi!

  1. You have quite the animal family. 🙂

    In our home there are two dogs, two rats, two fire belly toads, one beta, countless guppies and innumberable snails.

    1. Watch this space seems the appropriate response! We may have a broody hen just now so a few Bantam chicks could well be next. You will be the first to know!
