Mystery Meeting

**Russian Blue** · 08-10-2008, 11:00 AM

I had to hop on the internet again this morning to take a look again. You guys all look so great and I bet you all had a wonderful time! Great food, great company, great scenery. You guys had it all!

May have to talk Slick into coming with me

Hey, that would be great! And if not, I need to visit the west coast at some point.

Sounds wonderful - maybe we need to do both

At our breakfast with Barbara and Siegmar, they shared their pictures of Tigres and Filou.

You absolutely would be amazed at the wonderful pictures that Siegmar has taken. You actually gasp at the way he has captured the natural light and how the kitties just glisten. Each picture is just a work of art.

I wish that it would be possible for everyone to see them.

I can imagine the pictures that they got from their vacation - maybe if we whine or beg we could get them to share a few.

Sometimes when you are in the middle of a wonderful event, you don't fully appreciate it at the moment. Now, Barbara and Siegmar are back in Germany, we have left Slick in Canada and I am back home in California.
And a breakfast has become a very dear memory spent with some pretty wonderful people.

I feel very fortunate to have been able to spend time with Slick and Max - oh that Max is just a little walking doll. And to be able to share in our great dinner together - these are memories that I will always treasure.

I promise next weekend. And yes Siegmar's best pics will be on good old analog film

I must say there was never a person I met via Pet Talk whom when I met him/her didn't seem like an old and very good friend

Same this time. We all have so much to share that time just flies when we're together.

That's OK Siegmar - we know the best is yet to come

This just means we have something special to look forward to next weekend - a real treat

Barbara and Gini,

You are both so right - meeting a PetTalker is an experience like non other

You do feel like you've known this person a long time and the first time you set eyes on them in real life - all you want to do is give them an enormous hug just like you do when meeting a good friend you haven't seen in ages. It's a wonderful thing

These photos are wonderful! Everybody looks so happy. It must have been wonderful to be part of this event, but it's lovely to be able to share in it too.

Thank you so much for sharing with us.

Maybe one day ...

Not to get mushy - but when you meet a new Pet Talker - so many of the ways you size up new people are just put aside. You immediately start talking about your pets - and you hear and see the love and devotion, care and appreciation for their animals - that you just know -

THIS IS A GOOD PERSON!!

The rest comes easy - as there is no ice to break.

This is next weekend and here are the pics

Let's start with our visit with Bengalz. Eve was a perfect host and made sure the bed was made really well. You can see that Eve is a pretty pretty petite- just like her mom

**Barbara** · 08-17-2008, 04:46 AM

Now lets go on a week when we came back after having been to Vancouver Island and went to visit Slick and Max and Gini

I love this picture of Slick

**Barbara** · 08-17-2008, 05:19 AM

And now some special interest pictures.
The first one is for Killearn Kitties' husband who would have shared with Bengalz' husbands a lot of car and racing talk

The second one is for Phred: On the Queen Charlotte Islands it rains so much that you do not really need a fire car

The third one shows Siegmar on the boat in the Queen Charlottes and -imho-looking cool.
