Pet Talk Texas!

[aly]

Angie, I almost was not able to go but Mollie decided not to go so she stayed in her room and babysat (which I really appreciate!).

Thanks everyone for your help with my dogs! They were spoiled rotten and are dead asleep at my side right now.

I have a new mission and that is to get Angie a German Sheperd

Welcome home!!

The pictures are all terrific. Are any of you planning to put them all in one place, like at Webshots or something like that? Might be easier to view them all from one place. I know, Chuck, I'm just creating more work!! LOL!! But, it would be nice.

The "people" pictures are wondeful too. It is so good to see Paul for the first time, Angie, Sammi (Mollie) and Mike, and Laurie! I'd seen pictures of Chuck and Aly, and I had the pleasure of meeting karen in person last summer!!! Great pictures, and we are so happy that you guys seemed to have such a wonderful trip.

Helen and I wish we could have been there.

I didn't have too many people pictures on my camera. I think Karen and Paul might have some good ones.

It is a miracle we all survived Paul's driving (hehe ) and Chuck's directions! One of the funniest parts today was when Chuck all of a sudden pointed to the right and Paul did an incredible right turn from the left hand lane Karen, Mike, and I were in the backseat praying the whole time. Haha, just kidding!!

Laurie saved me from having a heart attack. The first night and morning I was there, I was sneaking the dogs around stressing myself out. The problem was they had video cameras at every exit/entrance and the screens were right at the front desk. I had all sorts of amazing routes planned out (like when I took Lolly down the hall to the stairs down to the third floor, then all the way back down the hall to the opposite staircase to the first floor, then back down a hall and through an exit, walked around the building to enter the opposite entrance, up 2 flights of stairs, down a hall, to the elevator back to my room.... pppphhhhheewwwwwww!!). I was only supposed to have one dog so thats why I had to sneak. Aunt Laurie saved us though!

For future meetings, it is REALLY nice to have pets there but you must have a strong heart to take all the stress of leaving them

Tonya, I was sure to take this pic for you! The poor thing only has three legs because she stuck her paw through a rail and it got ripped off by either a lion or tiger. Thats the story, right Karen?

[Karen]

That's right, she stuck her leg through the fence and a lion chomped it poor thing, but they say she has adapted just fine.

We are home, but I'm going to bed now!

Paul is petting Miss Hoppy now, she seems to have kinda forgiven us, but maybe that's cause I gave her raisins when we got home!

We'll figure out a way to organize the photos.

Thank you. Between the little comments left throughout the weekend, and now the photos and remeniscence (sp?) I ALMOST feel like I'd been there. Looks like you all had a great time and GOOD visiting. I'm pleased for you and reving myself up for PT-SE the next adventure. (And you all are probably exhausted right now... Thanks for sharing this great time.)

Great pics! But please put them in one place, not on a thread like this as attachments!

[Paul]

   It might take a few days to get all our photos and Spencer's video clips online. So here is part of one of Karen's photos.

WOW! Now THAT'S a paw!

Thanks a lot for the updates and all those great pics. I'm embarassed to admit, even more envious than I was before

[purrley]

WOW took me awhile to get through all the wonderful pictures. Looks like you all had a wonderful time. What a neat thing to do. Wish I could have been there, but now I feel like I kinda was

[jackiesdaisy1935]

What a wonderful meeting and it sounds like fun was had by all. I wish I could have made it and had planned to but old arthritis
doesn't always let you do what you want to do. Maybe I will be able to make the next one. I love all the pictures of the animals, the snow tiger is beautiful, and the pettalk people. Chuck your writing makes it sound almost like we were there. Aly I would have loved to visit with Lolly and Reece, that would have been the highlight of the trip for me. Glad you are all home safe and sound and I'm sure getting some much needed sleep.

Thanks for the pic!! She looks so content! Poor girl, it must've been tough to adjust to the loss of a limb--glad she's doing ok, though.


I'll tell you guys about my trip--it was well...good in some respects but I managed to come down with a virus of some sort... (One of the joys of riding on a bus...one gets it, we all get it )

We got home at 8 this morning--"Low Earz" is inspecting the suitcase and deciding if I'm allowed to be her Mommy again. Anywho, it's off to bed for awhile...! Will post more when I'm not so
