LINTNER: R.I.P., Bernie Lintner

By AUDREY LINTNER, Blooming Dells

I hope everyone was paying attention to Doc Lancaster’s pet care advice last week. It’s difficult to lose a family member, even if it’s what some would call “just a pet.” We lost three of our pond fish in the recent heat wave. One of these was Bernie, our biggest and oldest koi.

Bernie was rather nice, as fish go. He’d thrash his tail to warn the smaller fish when squirrels got too close, and he always was happy to accept the nightcrawlers that Larry brought him. At 4, he was nowhere near reaching his intended lifespan, but heat does bad things to ponds.
