If you don’t have a Water Garden & keep Koi, you don’t understand how attached you get to your Pond & Fish! You just don’t understand how going out and interacting with your fish and hearing that waterfall literally takes you to another place… Almost instantly, you calm down… Your blood pressure goes down… Your breathing smooths out… It’s like… Magic! I Love My Pond & I LOVE my Koi!
Love your Koi & keep your Koi happy and healthy as we transition into Spring by feeding them quality Cool Temperature Koi Food | Carters Nursery Pond & Patio | Jackson, Tennessee | I ❤️ Koi!
As you know Koi are huge in the culture of Japan. I love learning more about Japan & about Koi. I’ve been blogging about Koi every Wednesday for the last year & have learned a lot of things in the process. I have also tried to pass along some good information to you through my BLOG. One thing I have had fun learning more about is their language & about Kanji – what is kanji you ask?
I wanted to share a similarity that I thought was Awesome! The word Koi in English means decorative carp of course. But in Japanese it has more than 1 meaning, and it makes complete & total sense to me 😊
This Kanji means Koi. It’s also the Kanji for Love ❤️ Makes sense to me 😊
恋は盲目
Koi wa moumoku / Love is Blind!
恋に師匠なし
Koi ni shishou nashi / Love needs no teaching
Both have the common Kanji
Koi &/or Love…
Isn’t that cool?! 😎 Going to the Koi pond is truly going out for a dose of LOVE! Bam! 💥 Write this down! – “KOI = LOVE”!
Happy Pondering! 🤔

I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and was able to save this little puppy that someone just threw out into the street.
Someone literally threw this little puppy out in the street. She was so scared.
She was completely flea infested! I have never seen an infestation worse – WOW! Hundreds of fleas on this 1 little puppy 😞 She had scratched the fur off her neck where she had been itching so badly from all those fleas…
She had scratched the fur completely off in many areas fighting the fleas. It took several baths and quite a while with tweezers to get all the fleas.
After we got her all cleaned up, we got her to take some milk from a syringe & then off to the vet we went.
I don’t think she had eaten in a while.
The vet gave her the needed shots, wormed her, trimmed her nails & weighed her (1 lb). She’s around 7 weeks old. Now she’s sleeping soundly wrapped up in a blanket.
She’s sleeping & doing fine. It’s got to be a relief not to have all those fleas…
I think she’s gonna be ok 😊 All she needed was a little Love ❤️
