Ragdoll "parents" -- this thread''s for you! Brag and post photos here!

[BigDiamonds]

He really likes to play in empty boxes...

 

[BigDiamonds]

And in paper shopping bags.

 

[BigDiamonds]

Sooo

happy about his birthday bath. They really are tiny under all that fluff.

 

[BigDiamonds]

Now all fluffy and clean. Happy birthday baby!!

And yes, he''s on my dining room table. So what?

OHMYWORD!!!! Oh, BD, THANKS for the new pictures of Coltrane! He is soooooooo beautiful! Looks like a poster child for the Ragdoll breed, I am serious! He is sooooooo handsome! and PURR-fect!!!

And don''t worry about his size, he''s EXACTLY like Boo... Boo grew steadily till about 11 months old and topped off at 11.5 pounds and STAYED there till just recently. When he turned 18 months old, he gained a half pound and seems to be gaining steadily (although I haven''t weighed him lately). I know it is normal for Raggies to grow in spurts... after all, they grow and mature till age 4, so if they continued to gain (approx) a pound a month like they do as babies, they''d be almost 50 pounds by maturity!!!

THATSALOTTACATRIGHTTHERE!!!!

And besides, I LOVE the size Boo is right now... almost wish I could *freeze* him here... but no matter, I''ll be head-over-heels crazeeee in love with the little Stinkweed no matter WHAT he weighs!!!

More/ Pictures/ Please???!!!

AWWW...YAY for new pictures of Coltrane - what a gorgeous boy he is growing up to be

Thank you so much for posting those - I just love his sweet fluffiness, he is such a beautiful baby

 

[BigDiamonds]

More pictures, you say??? Oh well, I guess...

I''ll do a little History of Coltrane.

This is one of his very first days with us, when he was still shy and I came home every day for lunch to spend time with him.

 

[BigDiamonds]

Also early, when he was still very fascinated by the laptop.

 

[BigDiamonds]

"Mommy, leave me alone! I''m trying to nap."

 

[BigDiamonds]

"What? This is for me, right??"

 

[BigDiamonds]

He''s a big sleeper...

 

[BigDiamonds]

And of course, he LOVES to be held like a baby.

 

[BigDiamonds]

He also likes to pose on the window sill with the plants. Such a ham.

 

[BigDiamonds]

Again...

 

[BigDiamonds]

He''s a really good sport about getting dressed up (his Easter outfit aside

). This is his Memorial Day sailor outfit.

PS - stay tuned for his Halloween pics...they''re going to be good!

 

[BigDiamonds]

And now, here he is just yesterday making friends with the strange wind-up monkey toy that came in the batteries. Getting bigger, fluffier, and more grown up every day.

 

[Lynn B]

Oh BD! LOVE LOVE LOVE the new photos -- thanks!!! Coltrane is SOOOO handsomely fluffy and beautiful!

The photo of him in his Memorial Day outfit is a scream!!!

I think it''s a hoot that you dress him up like that! Boo would be having NONE of THAT, let me tell you!!!

Exactly, so do not give up on Coltrane, he will be your big lump of mooshy fur before you know it!! Loving his new series of pictures and I just can''t get enough of his cuteness!!!

 

[BigDiamonds]

I know you ladies are right.

He still has three years worth of growing and filling out to do! He''s always been a tiny bit small for his age, so I don''t think he''ll ever be huge but that''s okay. Some day when he gets a brother or sister, I''ll just be sure get one that is likely to be big (I have a weird thing for huge animals

). But if Coltrane never gains another pound we will still love

him just the same.

Time to update his thread with some new pictures of our adorable Sir Boo (aka Stinkweed, Tiskers, BooKat and Flopper McGee!!!

)

He's now 21 months old, and 12 pounds!

Looking rather pensive...

 

[Lynn B]

I was packing a small suitcase for a weekend trip last week, and he was ALL OVER IT... IN IT... ON IT... he wanted to go! (And believe me, I WANTED him to go!)

 

[Lynn B]

Another suitcase shot...

 

[Lynn B]

By now, the suitcase was packed and zipped up tight, but he wasn''t giving up!!!

 

[Lynn B]

Just keepin'' an eye on things outside...

 

[Lynn B]

Gettin'' a BETTER look...

 

[Lynn B]

Such a HANDSOME, ANGEL boy!

(And AG, doesn't he look so much like Ollie????!!!)

ETA: Excuse the red eye... he gets that in almost ANY flash picture. Drats!

 

[Lynn B]

"What do you mean, Ma, ''We''re out of treats'' ???!!!"

 

[Lynn B]

"That''s IT, I''m goin'' to sleep!"

 

[Lorelei]

OMG!!! Lynn, if he was mine I wouldn''t be able to leave him alone, he is THAT CUTE!!!!!!

Haha, I know, Lorelei! I can hardly get a darn thing done around here. Every time I see him, I have to stop whatever I am doing and pick him up and moosch and squoosh and kiss and hug and squeeze him!!!

And he's usually so good-natured about it! But tonight I had to trim his, uh, *bloomers*

and now he is apparently a little bit PO'ed!!! The little STINKWEED keeps running away from me!!!
