Oh that is so sad!!! I know they can get to be very friendly! I still have to seal this one but I hope to have it around for many years to come! All of the walkers on the creek trail enjoy commenting and taking pictures of this mural, it is most satisfying!
Thank you so much for your sweet comments!

How tallented you & your daughter are. Love, love, love this gorgeous mural. I hope you put a poly-coat or something over it to help preserve it! My Dear Hubby dug by hand a Koi pond for me, during the months of July & Aug., no less, before our re-laocation 41/2 yrs. ago. You see, I insisited on moving the fish. Hey, THEY are pets too!!! Last year my Dear Hubby was adding water, due to evaporation & added the needed chemicals to remove the clorine from the amount of water he planned to add. Un-fortunately it was nearing the end of the day. We went in for Dinner, then proceeded to bed, forgetting about the pond. Unfortunately the next morning we awoke to find ALL 25 fish dead from an apparent overdoes of clorine. The sadness was almost immeasureable. I had given all of them names like any other pets & yes they did have different personalities. Each morning & eving they would swim up to greet me when I went out to feed them. I was actually able to stroke some of them.
