(during the years we lived in South America.) He didn't do "tricks", but he could say several words, and he liked to have his head scratched, just like a cat does.GardenOfDaisieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110646840082802721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-12662688880161121902010-06-28T00:06:07.604+10:002010-06-28T00:06:07.604+10:00NOTE to ANN: You are one terrific lady....

A BIG THANK YOU to all who have given me praise for a job which was an absolute pleasure to undertake.<br />Doing something for a great group of friends to help celebrate birthdays was a much bigger assignment than I had envisaged.<br />Seeing the absolute joy radiating at each new surprise, was really pleasing for me, and made the effort well worthwhile. (I now have new found respect for 'real' tour directors.)<br />Now some thanks of my own:-<br />To Diane and Mary:-<br />thank you both for having birthdays so close together, which enabled us to have a lovely holiday together.<br />To Bill and George:-<br />our alternating drivers and navigatore, BBQ chefs, oh! and to Bill our chief dishwasher - thank you both for covering over 3 000 km without a hitch.<br />To Birthday Bear:-<br />for being the only one of the group not pestering daily to try to find out our destination - THANK YOU.<br /><br />Thank you all for being great travel companions and going with the flow when weather was a little unseasonal.<br /><br />IT WAS GREAT FUN!<br />Ann JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
