[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 303800, member: 1233"] It is not my pond. The neighbor does not care to fill it in. Or put dunks in it. When the house was foreclosed on there were fish in it. About 3 months later some got out and died in my yard where the water overflowed. They died when the water drained off. Then suddenly there were a bunch of fish rotting as they floated belly up. I called the health dept, the developer who built the place, the bank that was selling it, and even the realtor who had it listed. It was gross. It took 2 weeks for anyone to realize what was going on. I had to call the big boss at the real estate firm, the guy who owns it, to get anything done. I told him no one would ever even go inside the house because the stench was overpowering. My kids would not even go outside for those weeks. Now there aI once had to fish a cat out of the pond (a stray who could NOT swim and was tossed in by a neighbor kids' boy friend. The kids ran and I had to go in. That is how I found the beer bottles. All it has are frogs and bugs and garbage. I have spent $$ on the mosquito dunks. They don't bother the frogs at all. Since I am out in the county, rather than in the city, there are few regulations about these things. CPS has come a couple of times because the neighbor kid (Now my niece's best friend, ironically. They met at school.) was alone outside watching her 2yo baby brother with no adult supervision. Of course they were over investigating the pond. I am the one who reported them. I HATE the pond. It needs to be filled in. It is tempting to buy a few bags of concrete now and again and fill it in with that. But it would be vandalism. Might end up a nice basketball court or hopscotch and 4 square area. I will get dunks and start agitating the county to do something. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
