I heard all about it through my Mates, Reilly and Denny at Cowspotdogs. They live in the States but their Mom is an Aussie like me. Here's how it all came about. Hug An Australian Day is an annual event that was founded by Thomas and Ruth Roy of the Wellcat.com website. Though the origins of this event are unclear, Hug An Australian Day has quickly become popular over the last few years, and is celebrated by sending the likes of greeting cards and e-cards to Aussie friends. Hey all you blokes out there ..... I'm Australian!!!! Hug me ...... PLEASE! Forget the e-cards and greeting cards ..... just send hugs. I LOVE HUGS ..
Might have to start up one of these days for you blokes over there or is there already one? It's amazing what pops up on this blog thing, aye?? You never know what's next but right now I'm just going to sit back and enjoy hug an Aussie day. Dad hugged me .... he picked me up to do it. I'm still recovering! Mum hugged me. I might NEVER recover!!
Here's some hugs from me to all my mates too. hugssssssssssssssssss ... hugsssssssssssssss!!!!!
HAPPY HUG AN AUSSIE DAY EVERYONE!!
Wanna run ... Love, Charlie.
Wish we could be they to get you like 87 hugs each, since you seem to really enjoy them from your peeps. Yep we went over to Reilly & Denny's Mom and gave her 87 hugs each. Wish we had know about the card or ecard thingie. Have a GOOD DAY MATE!

Crikey .... thankyou so much. 87 ..... That's a lot, aye? Thankyou ..... I did have a GOOD DAY. Hope you did too!!
DeleteHere is a hug from me to you:
ReplyDelete((((( HUG! )))))
And more of the same from the rest of our furmily OMD, growlmy's peeps had to choose between USA, Canada or Australia when they were trying to leave the Netherlands...they chose Canada...my grand-growlmy had a cousin living in Australia fur a while, does that make me sort of one too, BOL! And growlmy's girl-furend lived there fur a couple of years...
((((( HUGS! )))))
Thanks MrJF Sir .... I loved all your hugs. I reckon if your Grand-Growlmy's cousin lived in Australia for a while then that, sure as anything, makes you part Aussie too. AND Growlmy's girlfriend too. Crikey you're almost a full blooded Aussie. Better send you some belated hugs for hug an Aussie day.
