let's see...whom do i dislike more? the fish that have overtaken my basement or the ducks that have moved into the fish pond in my backyard? i think it has to be the fish in the basement due to the wet, damp smell that's constantly lingering down there. then again...my dog has taken to treating the duck poop as if it's some french delicacy and then, carefully licking it off all of the rocks whenever he heads outside. i tried letting him out every time i saw the ducks but, he learned quickly not to chase them as they'll leave. now, he just watches them until they take off on their own in hopes of getting as many fresh treats as possible. (he's a beagle so fox are his forte, but still...he's a hunting dog. hunt dammit...wait, not for poop...damn dog.) it's gross. i really have no idea the origins of my disgust with the water dwelling creatures of the world but, it's there nonetheless...and, i'm surrounded.
