Well, I am back and i wanted everyone to know that i made the world a little safer just the other day.  Let me tell you the story.

 

I get a call to go to last sunday about an animal that was crossing the highway out here.  One person called in and said it was a deer, and a second call come in and they said it was not a deer but a steer.  So i am thinking to myself, "man can't people tell what kind of animal is on the road."  But anyways i head out to the area and there was nothing out there.  A couple people were still sitting on the side of the road so i pull up to them to speak with them about it.  They told me it was a deer and it looked like it back legs were broken.  They said it jumped into the river and started to swim down stream.  So i thought i better go check it out, so i drive all the way down to the other side and was never able to find it.  So what did i do....I left...duh.

 

About an  hour later another call came in and said this deer was sitting in someones yard.  So i drive over to that address to see if it was there and sure enough, there it was, a small bambi like deer.  The person that called it in told me when i got there that both of it's back legs were broken, so i walked over to it to take a look and sure enough they were broke.  Both of them.  I walk back to my car and grabbed my trusty mini 14.  The deer took one look at that and got that look in his eyes, as if he was saying..."the hell with that i am out of here."  It then jumped back into the small little canal that was by the house and started to kinda float down stream again.  I layed across the bridge there and took aim on it.  I mean come on, it was only in the best intrest of the deer, why let it suffer, it would have died at some point. 

 

As i got a good beed on the back of it's head, one of the guys that were out there bet me $5.00 that i would not be able to hit it.  (at this point the deer was probably about 35 yards down stream.)  I looked at him and said i will take that bet.  (little did he know that cops do know how to shoot guns)  So i got a good aim on the back of it's head again, i used controlled breathing....and all of a sudden........Bam!  one shot.  I was able to hit the deer in the back of the head and killed it.  I had dispatch call Fish & Game to inform them they needed to come and pick it up.  I then drove further down stream and pulled the deer out.  After i got the deer out, i went back to the guy who wanted to make the bet and informed him he just lost $5.00.  He was going to pay me but i told him to hang onto his money.  I was not going to take it. 

 

So as you can see, Deer season opened up a little sooner this year for me.  And bambi will no longer be out running the streets.  I sent him to be reunited with mommy again, in the big fields in the sky. 

 

No i know this may not be as fun as Towers Beaver hunting story, but at least i got a bigger animal then he did....hahaha. 

 

Anyways, take care and i will talk to you later. 

 

Cpl. Killed Bambi with one shot. 

Hey everyone it is me again. As you can see i added a new video to my page. This is a second video that i made of us working with the dogs some more. We had a great time and got a lot of new things taught to ous. 

 

We got the chance to work with some of californias top dog trainers, (they are in the video with their dogs as well)  I also added a link to their web page on here so go and check it out. 

 

Shrek (one of the city officers here) got a chance to be in the bite suit...but he also got to see what it was like to get a real bite from the dog. you can see it in the video. the poor guy. But he said he is not going to let that stop him from getting in the suit again.  He is a real team player...haha.  But i hope you like the video. i will get an updated version of it soon to everyone.  take care. 

Hey it is me again.  I know that i have not been doing the entire blogging thing like i should be, but i have a really good reason why.  Let me tell you the story...

 

It was a cold, stormy night..i was sound asleep in my nice warm bed when all of a sudden there was a bright light that lite up the room like the 4th of July as the lighting streaked through the sky.  The thunder rolled through the house shaking the walls and windows. I jumped out of bed and looked just as i seen the shadowy figure of a man walking down the hall way towards our room.  I reached for my trusty side arm sitting beside me on the night stand.  I tried to focus my aim on the man as he reached the door way.  I took a quick look at my wife laying in bed, and a thought ran through my head..."what about my daughter in the other room?"  And then another thought came to mind...."please God,  guide my mind and my aim so that i may protect my families lifes."  He walked in the room, i yelled and ordered him to the ground.  He did not move.  I seen him reach down and pull something out of his jacket.  The lighting flashed again and i got a quick look at the object he held in his hand, some sort of cutting tool.  I yelled at him again and ordered him to drop what he had and get on the ground.  Again he refused to do as told.  He looked right at me and began to speak. The word out of his mouth was..."do you want to cut the cord?" 

 

Hey come on people, where did you think this was going?  I'm just messing with ya.  The real reason is because my wife gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Riley is her name, and crying and keeping dad up all night is her game.  She is now my second child and i love both my girls to death. (oh, and my wife.  I can't forget about her)  But i would like a boy some day.  So if anybody knows the secrets of how to have a boy, please let me know.  Is there something like i have to wait for all the planets to line up or something like that first?  Hell who knows. 

 

But anyways, i have been gone from the web blogging for a little while, helping my wife with the kids.  She needs her rest and i am more then happy to lay with my 2 year old on those scary monster nights, or to cuddle up to my new born and have her sleep on daddys chest at night just so mommy can get a little rest. 

 

But i am back now and i will try and keep everyone updated on life and how things are going for us here in our neck of the woods.   Take care and it was good to write to all of you again.
