Who Wants This Fish?

Yesterday provided an increase in temperature. The ice in the pond has finally started to melt. I broke the ice up as best I could with a hammer, hoping to give the fish access to some freshly oxygenated water. 

During my smashing I found a dead goldfish. A pretty big one too!

We try not to waste resources here, so I went to find a hungry friend to eat this fish.

Yes, I could give it to Julies, but her kidneys aren't great and she's not supposed to have protein.

I could give it to this cat that follows me everywhere? Maybe; Ill check back.

How about that goose over there? "Gloria"

Nope, she wants to run away instead.

So I gave it to Matilda.

But she was more interested in me than the fish.

I knew the ducks would be happy for a fish. So, I searched for them.

I found them hanging near the coop.

With a single, well placed toss, the fish was in front of the ducks. A split second later Willis had the fish in her mouth.

As quickly as the feast started is as quickly as it ended. The ducks were off on a new adventure.

I found Julies nearly a half an hour later loitering at the same site that I threw the fish to the ducks.

She had been digging and eating the ice chips from the place where the fish had landed for half of a second. Silly dog and a poor looser if you ask me.
