This magnificent female Jaguar saw me and started running over. She yelled out "we heard you went to 'African Lion Safari'. You told us we had an exclusive contract Dr. Love for his show and now you're jeopordizing our chances of joining TSS, by cutting a special deal with that 'jungle' in Hamilton. We're all really very upset with you. Potions are being prepared, spells are being written, someone will pay for this, eh… (he, he, he) #125438

Thanx Robin, and Len, for the nice comments which are truly always appreciated. To me, photographs are informative, the stories are an awful lot of fun, and the reaction back from all my wonderrful BP friends make each day rewarding and heart-felt. Thank you all, so very much, again - your dear friend, Allan #525163

Bonnie C. Lackey level-classic May 07, 2004

Allan, she was just wondering if you were the guy with the broccoli whistle! Great stalking shot... #525169

Allan L. Whitehead May 07, 2004

Thank you so much Bonnie for the great comments. Brocoli whistles have been banned in Canadian Zoos and preserves. They were being used so much the animals heads would revolve 360º over and over. They would levitate and the game keepers would have a heck of a time getting them back on the ground, eh… Allan #525188

Thanx for the great comments Carol and Evy, as always, they are appreciated. Not to worry, Carol, I am re-negotiating the contract with the Zoo and Dr. Love because now I have "Safari" as a ploy, eh… I "Cat" wait till we're done, so I can purr a little - your friend, Allan #525891
