Small Pond Retirement

 A month ago, we had a black snake laying across the small pond.  The dog saw him and started barking like crazy.  We dragged the dog inside and I moved the snake over the fence in the back of the yard.  For several days, the dog would focus excessive barking around the pond.  Then he forgot until this week when he started attacking the pond pulling to pump out.  I protected it with some wood but we decided to retire the pond to fix the problem with the dog.
