*Be Happy - It's The Weekend*
I recently met an 11 year old boy by the lake that has an amazing ability to connect with all types of animals - He wants to do the same type of work as Steve Irwin! He asked if he could show me his skills at catching a turtle so he could show it to me and tell me about it.... It didn't take him 5 minutes to come back with this wonderful specimen.

Beautiful little fella, Jeff, and he sure is sporting a "Don't worry, be happy" grin. His features and color really stand out against the blue background.
