It is now 10:47 pm Los Angeles time - and Staci should be on the plane by now getting ready for the 11 pm takeoff.

While we were in the car going to the airport we got a phone call from Zipp that she was back on solid ground safely once again. That made all of us happy.

Kelly and I drove Staci to the airport and it was a very tearful goodbye - happily it was so crowded at the curb that no one rushed us to move the car as they usually do.

Kelly and I came back home and ate some leftovers and Kelly just left to go home and work tomorrow.

It is sooooo quiet in my house and very sad too - the end of another wonderful time with Pet Talkers. We keep saying Pet Talkers are the very best people in the world - this year proved that to be true once again.

So many people helped me in so many ways - it would take pages to thank everyone for all that they did - just know how deeply grateful I am for everything.

I am also grateful that I can put this event on - but MOST of all, I am grateful for the wonderful friends that I have met through Pet Talk - and how much fun, laughter and joy they have brought me.

This is the first year I can tell you that I am completely out of bottled water.......but there are plenty of slushie fixings left. Could it have been the heat?

Barbara, yes, I have a few more pictures to post - but not tonight. I know
others have more pictures too and they will eventually show up. We need to drag out the fun as long as possible .

Do you know what is just awful? "I" have to go to work tomorrow too.

Night everyone.................................
