He reminds me of someone I knew (a vet's assistant actually)who felt more for her dogs than she did for her child. She'd had a bad childhood and just didn't seem to trust human love.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure he wasn't quite that extreme. But anyone who names his daughter after his favorite croc and dangles his infant over a croc pen seems to identify more with the animals than his children. And it's the kids and his wife that I really feel sorrow for.The Library Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14321601076252214546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10715455.post-1157574165335214172006-09-06T15:22:00.000-05:002006-09-06T15:22:00.000-05:00When I woke up and got on the computer (eyes still...When I woke up and got on the computer (eyes still blurry) I read the headlines and I thought..oh it must be another movie coming out. Then I went and turned on the TV and realized it was true. I just sat there and I just couldn't believe it. My first thought was of his two young kids and Terri. I am glad it was fast and at least he went doing what he loved doing.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12450800476828428561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10715455.post-1157470690644375502006-09-05T10:38:00.000-05:002006-09-05T10:38:00.000-05:00Here's the complete link:http://www.abc.net.au/tv/...Here's the complete link:<BR/><BR/>http://www.abc.net.au/tv/enoughrope/transcripts/s1071026.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10715455.post-1157465980093888102006-09-05T09:19:00.000-05:002006-09-05T09:19:00.000-05:00Nice way to sum it up.

He was a bit too much with his over-enthusiasm but, there was no question he loved what he was doing- dealing with animals.<BR/><BR/>Nice piece Jenn, thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
