Welcome to our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve had a busy week which has given us lots to be thankful for. We are writing to you from Perth, Western Australia, where we are vacationing for the next couple of weeks. Perth right across the other side of Australia to Queensland, where we live.

We are thankful to our friend who is staying in our house to look after my three indoor kitteh-sibs.

The day before we left, mum (Michele), iPhone broke; the front half lifted right off! *face of horror* It was out of warranty, so after we all freaked out and ran in circles, she went to the Apple Store and they said it was a faulty battery and thankfully, gave her a brand new iPhone! Yippee! Thank you Mr. Apple.

It’s our first time in Perth and we really like it. We are staying in a beautiful woodland area, in a great cabin, which is more like a small house. Yesterday Michele took over 700 photographs, mainly bird life and wildlife. She has some spectacular bird photos, which she’ll post over the coming weeks.

Less than 5 minutes walk from our cabin is a dog beach, so she shot some photos there too. Its great to see the dogs swimming and having fun with their owners.

Did you ever read the book: Jonathon Livingstone Seagull, about a seagull? We are thankful because we think we met him yesterday in Perth, at the dog beach. :=o)

Right now we are extra thankful because Michele is typing for me on her laptop, not her usual iMac computer, and she couldn’t remember the password for my Linky Link! I had a barking fit cause with no linky there’s no blog hop. *sweaty paws* Thank DOG she finally got it after 30 minutes and about 87 attempts. *pass the vapours*

Reminder: the link is working fine, so when you crop your piccie, if it seems to be taking a long time – don’t touch it, it will go through by itself…even if it seems to be taking forever. :=o)

Surprise! I’ve already visited every pals site and left a comment, for each pal who joined our hop last week. Hee Hee! Hope you’ll join our blog hop this week so we can all come and visit your site, and leave you a comment. Thank you for visiting us and I hope you’ll join us again. *waves paw* :=o)
