Thursday afternoon a homeless looking person came in to our backyard. He came around the corner of the house to where I was sitting at my patio table. It scared the crap out of both of us. I froze in my chair and he ran. After about a minute I ran out front but obviously he wasn't to be seen.
I called 911, they patrolled the area looking for him. I found it odd that they didn't come here to talk to me. I waited and waited for them. I got a phone call instead telling me that even if they found him they couldn't charge him with anything. He said it's suspicious activity and that's not a crime. 4:30 the same day a neighbor told me that a black truck was watching our house. They saw her and took off. Of course, no license plate number. Midnight my husband was outside and everything was normal. 3 am my neighbor was out having a smoke he didn't hear anything. Some time in the middle of the night I woke to a bleach smell. I thought my daughter was doing laundry at an odd hour. I was exhausted from the horrible day I had and didn't go down to ask her not to do another bleach load. I wish I had. Maybe just maybe I could have saved the fish.
They not only dumped a pail of chlorine granules in the pond but they dumped the same size pail of shock in the pool or vice versa. They put the lids back on the containers and put them back where they were. Who does that?!?! I was trying to net out the undissolved granules yesterday and it ate my skin. It burned like hell. I'm trying not to think about my poor babies and how they suffered but the bleeding from the body and gills is etched forever.
Sadly we think we know who it is. We have a son that's 23 who has mental illness issues and is a drug addict. We kicked him out years ago and he is very angry. He's asked to move back in numerous times but refuses to listen to rules and get treatment so the answer is always no. Ironically he left for power river on Thursday. We are thinking that was his parting gift.
I may be a horrible person to say this but....I don't think I will ever be able to forgive him.
Having to part with the pond was devastating enough. We were looking in to different ways to grade our yard and fix the drainage without losing the pond. No point now. The reason for keeping it is gone. Those were my babies.
Sorry for the long post. It's a hard morning. The first morning I don't hear the water running. The first morning I don't hear their sucking noises and the first morning that I'm not having my morning coffee with them.
