Ramanth meets RedHedd & Wolflady ~pics

[ramanth]

This is far overdue. :o

I had a blast in San Francisco, and since I've been back, I've just been swamped. I took so many pictures, I just don't know where to begin.

I also have so much to share, that I think I'll give the cliffnotes version and stick to the more PT related points.

My flights were for the most part uneventful. (I love to fly and despite fearing that I missed my connecting flight, all was well.)

RedHedd picked me up at San Francisco International and whisked me away on a brief driving tour of the city. We also went thru Golden Gate Park where they have buffalo!!

We met Wolflady and her hubby at the Cliff House restaurant.

Ramanth (me), Wolflady (Karen), and RedHedd (Georgia)!

RedHedd had a previous engagement, so after lunch she passed me off to Wolflady and the hubby.

We headed towards Fisherman's Wharf, all the while enjoying the drive uphill. ;)

At Ghiradelli Square, we saw these cute statues.

The majority of my time there was filled with great weather. Wednesday, the clouds and rain crept in. Georgia drove me to the top of Twin Peaks anyway, but this was my view of the city.

Maybe next time!

We met up with my friend Dave at an Indian restaurant close to where Georgia lives. The food and company were excellent.

Afterwards, I got to meet Mishi! (Mitzi hid under the bed)

[shais_mom]

great pics Kimmy!:)
looks like a lot of fun! :)

[krazyaboutkatz]

Great pictures.:) I'm so glad that everyone had a great time.:) Mishi sure is one huge gorgeous boy.:D

[RedHedd]

Thanks everyone for the nice comments about Mishi. He IS my wonderful huge boybee, however his kidneys are failing and I'm worried and being very watchful and calling the vet to get him in this Saturday. He's slowed down on eating and drinking water the past few days and is obviously in some discomfort. I did get him to eat some turkey baby food this morning and he did drink his water, but I can tell he's not feeling right. I also gave him a dose of the medication that the vet gave me to boost his appetite when he gets like this, which he does every few months. I've just never seen him this bad. :(

[ramanth]

Awww Georgia. :( I'm so sorry to hear about Mishi. I hope that big fluffy orangie boy feels better soon.

[Randi]

Great pics - and good to see you all having a wonderful time together. :) Thanks for sharing.

I hope Mishi will get better, poor boy. :(

[AmberLee]

Gorgeous photos! Thanks for sharing!

So sorry to hear Mishi isn't doing well...

[krazyaboutkatz]

Poor Mishi.:( I sure hope he feels better soon. Please keep us updated.

[Barbara]

How..... could I miss this thread! Looks as if you had a great time- I would love so much to go back to SF one day:D

Karen I have your T-Shirt as a tote bag (Books and Cats- isn't that great:D )
Mishi is gorgeous- and I'm still thinking of him- we know kidneys cannot be repaired but go more stable.

Ohhhhhhhhh it's a pity I can't get to the BBQ:(

[K9soul]

What wonderful pictures, looks like a blast! Mishi is absolutely GORGEOUS! Wow! I just love big orangie boys http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v145/k9soul/GIFS/wub.gif

I sure hope and pray he's feeling better soon. I know how anxious you must feel with him not doing so well :(
