Subject: Re: The Dreaded Heron by Kater on 5/9/2009 19:02:25 Thanks all for the suggestions . We do have two dogs but this heron landed very early morning before the dogs were let out . I have made a point of having the dogs outside as much as possible this week and have put a rather grim decoy duck into the pond and an equally grim heron at the side and so far so good . The irony is that last week , we sadly had to have our dear cat put to sleep , she was 15 years old and lived ( out of choice !) in the greenhouse which overlooks the pond . All the time we had her, we never ever saw a heron and then within a couple of days of losing her, the damn thing landed on our pond. I dont really want another cat as I am still grieivng but maybe in time, this might be a good idea ! Ironically, she never tried to catch the fish and whilst our dogs watch them , they dont make any attempt either . However, the decoy duck is proving a temptation to the pair of them ! |
