Day two of the California BBQ is here. Lut, we are going to toast you today.........and also wish you a very Happy Birthday (for tomorrow).

Everyone left last evening at around 11 PM...........you can imagine none of us were ever at a loss for words. And we laughed and laughed.

Rascal is beside himself with all of the attention. He is King!

This must be short - they will be here today at 10:30 AM, and Karen and Kelly will go to the airport to pick up Laurie.

More soon...............

I bet it involves those four bottles of wine, pink elephants, hiccups, and a spinning room....

Silly question - Wish I could have been there - grrrrrrr. I was in spirit - and Gini tells me this may be an annual thing, so hopefully next year will be better for me. I'll save up $$$$ and leave time .
I know you all had a GREAT time!!! The weather this weekend has been hot but fabulous out here.

We're awaiting details, details, DETAILS! (and pics too of course )

someone check in soon please!

I saw Kelly post on another thread, but she didn't post on this one! BAD KELLY! Come here and give us details, girl!

I actually turned off the computer and thought about going to bed. Then I realized that if I didn't post something tonight, I might get in big time trouble.

Did we have fun? Now isn't that the silliest question you have ever heard?

After everyone left, I went over to my neighbors who had generously brought over their Goldens to show off yesterday and again today. My neighbors are RAVING about everyone and finally when I talk about Pet Talk, I think they will understand.

At the last minute we decided that I should drive to the airport with Karen (Wolflady) because she had met Laurie before, and I knew the best and fastest way to the airport. Laurie was arriving on a United Airlines flight. The United terminal is huge, but for heaven's sake - how BIG can it be? Laurie's flight isn't even posted and there is no baggage claim #7. I parked the car and we started asking questions. (what a concept).

Well, United is SO big that the baggage for her flight didn't arrive in the United terminal at all, but in the Continental terminal. Well, of course, everyone would know that - right??? WRONG!!

We hightailed it to the Continental terminal and there sat poor Laurie with her broken arm - looking abandoned. We scooped her up and brought her back to the house.

The group back at the house had taken charge and the pot was hot waiting for the corn - Karen's husband Aaron had the grill ready to go for the chicken........and then RICHARD SHOWED UP!

I thought Richard had bought out the market he brought in so many bags.........filled with his famous salsa and all of the fixings for margaritas.

If you think that Richard does a great job on Thursdays.......well you haven't lived until you have had one of his Sunday specials!

Who was here............(not enough people by my standards,) because we really did miss Lut and family and Kohala.....but this just must be an annual event, so please count on next year!

Kelly (Noah's Mommy), Tracey (KAK), Karen (Wolflady) and her wonderful husband Aaron (who barbecues like a real champ),
Pam (AntiPam), Richard and Laurie (lbaker).

I don't think anyone stopped laughing for two days. We shared all of our pet stories, our pictures and much more.

The BIG red container has been opened and the secret is out.......
(wait for pictures - I think Karen and Tracey have them).

Mr. Fish arrived and stole the show. Look for him in all of the pictures.

Who was KING for the day? Well, you guessed it. Mr. Rascal has just had the best weekend of his life. His belly has been rubbed and he now has a supply of toys and catnip to last him all year. He is now zonked on the floor by the door trying to catch a breeze.

Yup, it was very hot, but IT DIDN'T RAIN!

Kelly has very patiently written down all of the instructions for me to post the pictures.......and I will try to do it right in the morning.

But right this minute........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz .

Pet Talkers are the very best............just ask my neighbors.

A young couple walked by with their two dogs and sweetly asked, "What are Pet Talkers?" when they saw my sign. We answered them honestly and they seemed satisfied with our answer.

We went back into the house and howled with laughter when we thought about WHAT WE COULD HAVE TOLD THEM!

I hope everyone gets home safely.........it was absolutely the best BBQ I could ever imagine. XXXXOOOO
