I should have known

The signs were all there: a small trail through the long lawn grass (before it was cut); something using the walkway to the deck as its toilet (I was looking for a Big Bird, how dumb can I be); something trying to get into the underside of the upper deck of the house during the night... of course we have raccoons. And of course they will feast on goldfish if they are within reach.

Once the big pond is full again, the fish will be safe because the walls are vertical and the water is so deep.

If there is any good come out of this, it has pointed me in the right direction in eliminating the Thing That Goes Bump In The Night.

I feel very very sad.
