I don’t know if Mom really liked camels or if she decided to “adopt” an animal because Dad had the owl. I remember Mom saying that camels are so ugly and foul-tempered that someone had to love them, so she would.
Given that she liked camels, she received many, many camels as gifts – camel statues, camel stuffed animals, mugs with camels on them, camel jewelry, camel, camel, camel.
One Christmas, not many years before she died, Mom announced that they had enough camels and owls and didn’t need any more
When Mom died in February 2003, there were plenty of camels for everyone in the family.
Mom & Dad rode camels when they went to Egypt in March 1982
