Petey the Crocodile Hunter...


Okay, first you've got to excuse my doofy sweater -- it was Christmas, for goodness sakes!-- and look very carefully at that log on the bank behind me (almost directly behind my head.) It's a crocodile!!! What? Oh, Mommy just told me that it's an alligator. But it's a big one. Did you know you can tell how long an alligator is by estimating the distance between it's nose and eyes and turning that into feet. So if it looks like 6", that's a six-foot gator! Yikes! 

I was just a 10 month old pup when this was photo was taken, but I wanted you all to see how I wrestled that 30' alligator to the ground Lacie. See? I'll protect you. Asta, you have nothing to worry about either when we go to Hilton Head (although I should probably tell you that this lagoon is right behind my Grannie's house.)

I think your sweater is cute! Be very, very, very careful around alligators. They are MEAN! A big one lives in the lake behind my house. If he wanted to, he could eat me all up!

Why Petey, so yur an alligator slayer besides bein' a crack at playin' ball (I saw ya in Asta's video catchin' that thing--my Mom can do that too). I am sure that if we saw an alligator, we would run the other way....It is really nice that ya can visit with Asta and share her Mom 'n Dad too. Maybe someday we can play ball together....
