Me too, I killed a small snake for the first time about 6 yrs ago, as he was getting into my Koi pool or pond. It scared me to death, but I killed him with a shovel. My poo rKoi are alive and well today, and when I moved to my new home here about 5 yrs ago, I brought all of them with me, today they are in my lake outside my back door. They were my babies, in my sales contract on my home, I made mention that my Koi did not stay only the goldfish. All the people here get to enjoy them now, and they are huge and beautiful. I have to go all the way across town to find a Farm Feed store to purchase floating catfish pellets to feed them,, as I spoiled them and some will almost eat out of your hand. I did have a Farm supply Store close by and it closed forsome reason. The colors are remarkable on the Koi, and they are all so beautiful. In Japan the Koi are handed down to grandchildren, etc and they have an extremely long life. Bettye

Hi Bettye & List, We lived in Arkansas before I was born - Mom was bitten by a Copperhead and spent three months in bed, I was delivered by my Grandma and the Hired Girl. My Cousin who is a nurse says I must have some great antibody's in my blood - also had one of those caul things over my face. Now all of you know why I'm a bit weird!!!! Have a good evening all and Take Care.
