I was going to call this post "January thaw" but then I realized it is not January yet. Not quite. Usually we have a big thaw around mid January which is why I thought of that. It got really warm today, I'm not sure exactly how warm here but it was over 61 degrees at 4PM. Most of the snow is gone although there are still bits hanging out around the edges, and all of the ice is gone from the pond. I lost another fish overnight, I threw it in the yard and I think Squeakers may have eaten it when I let her out to enjoy the warm day. Most of the other fish are doing much better, they are swimming around and they ate and I think they will be ok. Unfortunately my biggest fish, which I feel rather attached to, is not looking well. I really hope it makes it through the night, I dosed it with fish medicine and tried to hand feed it some fish pellets but it is floating near the top and not eating and kind of listing to one side, although sometimes they just do that for no reason. I don't know what else I can do.
