Gues what was swimming in my pond?

[Zurealsoon]

Dh came and got me ,frantic ,because a furry animal was wrecking havoc in our beautiful pond...the whole thing was dirtied up-pump stopped up, all the plants tipped over-a big mess...I look and think" it's a cat???" Well it gets out....it was a Nutria! ewwwwwww :bitelip:

He scurried under the deck...tomorrow we hope to scare him away-there is farmland a block away.

We have them here in Oregon.
Good luck @ getting rid of them.

Wow, I thought of my son who first told me about nutria when he lived in Louisiana. I never dreamed they were "up there."

Best wishes.

He's gone & I completely cleaned out the pond-it was a muddy mess-no plants left-he ate all the waterlilies -it was a big mess. At least my goldfish are alive.
