Thanks for the picture of our pond. :) It brings tears to my eyes. Everyone here is so caring, and kind; I thank all of you. I just wanted to add that I am concerned and care about all of you - Wog, Froggy, Surfie, Eva, Gloria, and Phooey. You are all deer to my heart, and are also in my daily prayers.
Paget, I read your post early today. So sorry for your loss. Praying that our Lord will fill the emptiness and comfort those left behind with their greif. So young.
I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your "second daughter". Only 34! Way, way too young. I'm sure your family, hers and your friends will be in shock and tears for quite a while. May her memory always be a blessing.
Oh Paget, I'm so sorry! Is there anything we can do for you, hon? Loss is so difficult. I'll pray some prayers to ease your grief--34 is so terribly young!
"Sheepdog bodyguards protect mini-penguins from foxes"
Tiny Little Blue Penguins in Australia owe their lives to their big, blond, canine bodyguards; two Maremma sheepdogs that work tirelessly to protect them from marauding foxes keen to access the island when the tide is low. Seven years ago, the once thriving colony of 1,500 of the world's smallest penguins, aka Fairy Penguins, was down to a pathetic population of four breeding pairs.
After trying everything from fox poison to fumigation, one ingenious guy had a Eureka moment: if dogs protect sheep from wolves and chickens from foxes, why not penguins from foxes? After all, penguins are only chickens in dinner suits. It worked.
Warrnambool's Middle Island now has about 200 adult birds — and not a single one has been snatched by a fox.

Phooey, I loved this story about these tiny blue penguins and big white Maremma sheepdogs to protect them. I looked them up on Internet to see what they looked like, and where their island is located. They live off Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia.
Deer, deer Paget. I hold you in my heart and prayers. There are no words of comfort in a time of such tragic and sudden loss. Except I love you. We love you. Take care, and God bless you.
Pond Family, our Deer Paget needs us today.
