What a dick (the deputy, that is). Ironically enough, I am a deputy Sheriff, and have stopped and moved countless snakes off the road in my travels around my beat. Hmmmm, I wonder how "he" and I could be so different in that way? I even stopped once to save a young red tail hawk on the side of the road that appeared to have been hit by a car or truck. I took it back to the office for the rest of my shift, till I got off and was then able to take it to a local wildlife rescue center...only after taking several pics of us together. LOL!!!



Anyway, people can be such !$#@$@%#^@% !$^%$$%@^ &^@$@#&^%, sometimes. I freakin hate 'em. I like animals so much more for the most part. hahaha!!!



Now I must preface these pics I've included, with the fact they ARE MEANT TO BE COMICAL. OK. Some of my buddies at work refer to me as "The Pet Detective"...because I actually take on some of the cruelty to animal cases no one else cares about. So please understand, I was having some fun in these pics. Just don't want anyone to get the wrong idea. I'm not some real life Reno 911 cop! LOL!!!

I actually came in to the office just before the end of my shift, put the hawk on my shoulder, and then acted like I was hard at work. The oncoming shift guys started trickling in to work and saw me sitting there in the office with this hawk perched on my shoulder. I didn't say anything, but just stayed busy and acted like nothing. When asked (and guys were freaking out by the way) I just said "what's the big deal? - I caught and tamed a wild hawk". This just fueled the fire. Now they refer to me as "The Beast Master". Pretty funny I must admit. Anyway, enjoy the pics.



Take care and be safe out there. And oh yeah, Happy Thanksgiving!
