After what happened here last night, I'm terrified to let my dogs out in my backyard. Everything was fine when we went to bed last night, but woke up this morning to find our pond trashed!!! The d*** raccoons got into my pond and took all three of my large Koi and over half of my goldfish. My favorite goldfish, who would follow me around in the pond and beg to be petted, is one of the missing ones. Plants and rocks are knocked over. I don't know if I can bear to go out there and clean up the mess. Fish scales are everywhere, as well as the remains of my fish. Last time I took my dogs out, the crows were feeding on the remains and I had to come back inside....couldn't handle the sight. Sorry this i gross, but I'm just sick about it!

Now I'm scared to let my dogs outside even under close supervision...especially at night. Do raccoons like to feast on Yorkies too???
