i made a pond

I've been working on a special project lately. its been a joint-effort, actually. we've been wanting to give Jack a better home. so i finally took charge and did it.

here's a great spot for a pond! my mom wasn't too stoked on the idea, but i didn't really listen to her cause i knew i could make a sick ass pond..

i, of course, dug the hole:

shadow helped dig too. he loves to dig but he kept digging in the wrong spots. i wonder if you can teach a dog to dig on command... probably.

while we were digging, we suddenly uncovered a mass amount of clam shells!! what the heck?? Chloe was super pumped about our "discovery" and we pretended we were archaeologists digging up dinosaur bones... it was great.

gracias to kurt & brandi for donating the pond insert and the cool filter-fountain thing! jack seems to like it. we've also added 3 pollywogs and a few tiny fish that we caught at sycamore grove. the kids love it too. i am definitely pleased
