THE CULPRIT

The pictures you see are parts of an eel removed from the front fountain. It's hard to judge how big it was because only 2 parts were found. Jasper is holding the head, the middle part was about 8 inches long and who knows how long the missing part would be. It must have been large through the middle, though even wizened by death, it was still large. Large enough to first throw the fountain off kilter, then the spray was went askew and had to be turned off. 

The next pictures that I post will be of Jasper and Steve out in the little boat removing the eel so our pond can have its oxygen from the fountain restored. It seems that all you have to do is hint that you will be using that little boat and the mighty wind comes around. Hard work!
