4th Annual Pet Talk Calif. Bbq

[catland]

sigh - its just not fair - the day once again seemed to fly by in an instant. So much fun, so little time. Gini and Richard are taking Mary to the airport right now. I'm at Gini's house with Byron and Staci and Tonya. We came by to help clean up but the place is looking pretty good so far so we'll just eat more of Gini's food.

We're leaving for home later this afternoon. It was great seeing everyone. There's just nothing better than a PT meeting.

[Edwina's Secretary]

An album .....

[Barbara]

Ok, I think everyone looks pretty bright and happy here- now we want some pictures of the dark side

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I STILL WANT TO SEE RICHARD AFTER HIS HAIR CUT!!!

WANT TO MAKE SURE HE IS NOT BALD NOW!!! GOOD GRIEF!!! IT'S BAD ENOUGH I CAN'T BE THERE WITHOUT BEING IGNORED TOO!!!
(just kidding --- sort of)
I did try looking at ES album but it wouldn't open up for me!!!

[Randi]

What fun, everyone in a hat! Stacy and Zippy, that's the kind of hat you should wear for the Derby!

[zippy-kat]

We certainly did ham it up yesterday...


These guys love us... they keep showing up.


I dunno, but the fact that their clothes don't last too long might have something to do with it.... (since Laurie wasn't here to do her job, Staci all too readily accepted the position).

AND A BIG, BIG THANK YOU TO SLICK FOR HER THOUGHTFULNESS!









(Here's Richard's new 'do.)

[RICHARD]

LOL,

Haircuts this year? Wet tank top contest later on in the evening!

Bikini waxes and manicures next year....so no one has to take timeout.....

[Edwina's Secretary]

By the way....I left my pants on a chair in your backyard Gini....over by where I was sitting with RICHARD....

If you hang on to them I'll get them next time I see you.....

Note:
Did anyone leave a pair of glasses?
We haven't found out who can't see yet!
Its another gathering today.
Diana, Julie, Byron, Kelly, Karen, Aaron, Richard, Gini, Tonya and of course myself are all gathered here at Gini's.
Let the fun begin again!

[pnance]

I actually made it home last night, only fell asleep twice....
Gini thanks for doing this...I had a great time meeting everyone.

Since I'd never been to Gini's I turned onto her street and silly me started looking for street numbers....all I had to do was look in front of me, after all it's hard to miss a big red fire truck....

Stacy says hi to some of our 4 legged guests..


Richard our local bartender receiving pointers from Julie....


So is this the new olympic torch??


Sara "explaining" her point of view to Richard...

Everybody gets to wear the hat....

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Just got a peek at ES's album. Must have been my poky dial up service earlier.

What fun: TONS OF CATS IN HATS!!!

I Bet Miss Edwina will be jealous!!!

Thanks for sharing them with us!!!

YOU ALL LOOK MA-VA-LOUSE!!!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Great pictures everyone. I really loved all of the hat pics too. I recognize everyone but who is Misty?

[lbaker]

Who indeed an interloper? Nah, everyone is welcome at the House Of Orange but who indeed? Sara, you and Don look sooo Californ-i-ahh these days, your hearts may be in Chicago but you do appear to be settin' in quite well. Nice job Gini, once again ~

Misty aka Sheila is a good friend of RICHARD'S who is absolutely DELIGHTFUL!
She is going to join us I believe - she owns Vizlas.

[Russian Blue]

Wow...you guys make me want to be there. Thanks so much for sharing the pictures! Maybe one day I'll be the other Canadian that makes it down there....
