Two nights in a row, our pond has been raided.
The night before last, the miscreants overturned our potted lilypad and bit the head off one of our goldfish. We found the body and head floating in the pond.
Last night, they struck again, shredding all of our lilypads and killing three more fish. It appears one of the casualties -- a 3-year-old coy -- was feasted upon by something with very sharp teeth. Our prize coy -- a hefty 5-year-old -- was swept out of the pond and onto the patio about two feet away. Either overlooked or forgotten, he likely suffocated.
My husband took pictures of the evidence before putting the bodies on a paper plate and serving them to our neighbor's cat.
Our theory is raccoons. But we'll have to call in one of Agatha Christie's famed detectives to be sure.
