Last week, Perry showed up at work with a little surprise—a crocodile!
As the story goes, several years ago, Perry caught a small crocodile while fly fishing. Intrigued, he deposited it in the boat and promptly took it home to show his family. They, too, fell for the little guy and decided to keep it as a pet. The children named it Bambi.
Perry treated Bambi well and was quite fond of him. He took him on walks on his leash and brought him to work occasionally so Bambi could enjoy a refreshing swim in the ocean or creek.
However, not everyone was as enamored with Bambi. One day while Perry was working up the hill, another employee cut Bambi’s ropes and set him free into the ocean. Poor Perry never saw Bambi again.
But just over a week ago, Perry once again struck gold by snagging a crocodile while fishing with his son. His boy believed the new croc to be a more grown-up Bambi coming back to visit. So, of course, Perry put him in the boat and took him home. His family dubbed him Bambi II.

Perry now brings his new crocodile to work on a somewhat regular basis. He walks him and lets him swim in the ocean and creek (while I stand nearby and scream at the dogs not to go close).

Thank God we don’t have workers’ comp here.

Don't see that every day. Don't they get a little snappy?
I'll use this as a good example of why to teach your dog "leave it..."
