[AmberGretchen]

You can just see the mischief in his eyes...

 

[AmberGretchen]

Just a little *bump* for my fellow Raggie lovers to see the most recent pics

 

[Lynn B]

OHMYWORD, just now saw these new Ollie pictures!!!

THANK YOU!!!!

Oh AG, he just gets more handsome EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!! And lookit the sweet little intellectual, he wants to have a PhD, too!!!

He is soooooooooooooooo dang CUTE!!!! And in his little carrier, looking to surprise-ambush his sisters... such a typical little brother, huh???!!!

Oh, I wish we could get Boo and Ollie together. Wouldn't they have SOOOO much fun?! And think of the ADORABLE PICTURES we could take!!! You are getting CLOSER once you move... but there's still gonna be "quite aways"

between us, I'm afraid!!!

Dang and double DANG!!!!

 

[AmberGretchen]

Lynn - how cute is he posing on the hood?!?!!

And yes, he is a typical little brother - annoys the girls no end. Especially Amber - Gretchen is actually really tolerant with him, she''s such a sweet big sister

I agree that getting them together would be impossibly adorable - I don''t know if I could handle *quite* that much adorable fuzzy seal point Ragdoll cuteness all at once...but I''d be willing to try

 

[Lynn B]

OK, so last night I happened to look into the living room and Boo was sitting on the ottoman in such a hilarious position!
The camera really doesn't capture it -- IRL it was hysterical!
I called DH in, and he cracked up. He said, "Where's the camera?!"
So we took a couple of quick pictures, chuckling all the while, but apparently Boo decided he didn't like being laughed at

because he jumped down and huffed off!!

 

[Lynn B]

I mean, REALLY-- how comfortable could that be??? And the TV was on, too... so it looked like he was watching TV! He just needed a cold beer to complete the whole picture! SILLY BOY!!!

 

[AmberGretchen]

OMG Lynn you''re KILLING ME - ROFLMAO that is so funny!!!! Completely adorable, and completely hilarious, too funny!!!

 

[Lynn B]

Haha, thanks AG! I thought you''d like those!

I think it''s so funny how he looks so.... *PHAT!*

in those pictures... like a little Jabba the Hut... but him''s not FAT, him''s just FLUFFY!

 

[AmberGretchen]

Hehe I know Boo would never be allowed to get fat in your household

But you''re right, those pictures definitely give that impression - too funny, I totally wish I had photoshop so I could add a cold beer to those pics

OMG, how cute!! Such a silly boy, indeed!

ETA...my BF laughed when he saw the picture Lynn! He said "that is my kind of cat!"

Here is the latest of the diva...

What's funny about this picture is that she has her other leg/paw tucked under her body. When she went to the emergency vet a few weeks ago, they had to run an IV and had to shave part of that leg, which is still growing back. It is almost as if she kept it out of sight for the photo for that reason!

 

[omieluv]

...and of the sleeping diva...it is hard work to be a diva!

I''m sure she did!!

Beautiful Diva Omie has a REPUTATION to uphold, you know... and obviously, a wee bit of a half-shaved paw is just not catwalk-worthy, in her feline opinion!

She is SOOOOOOOOOO gorgeous! LOVE the new pictures!!!

 

[AmberGretchen]

Awww...the new pics of Omie are TDF - so GORGEOUS, I love her

 

[Lynn B]

Took a couple of pictures of My Boy tonight!

 

[Lynn B]

And another...
*Happy sigh!*
I just love him sooooo much!!!

 

[Brown.Eyed.Girl]

CUTE CUTE CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[AmberGretchen]

OMG Lynn he''s SO FREAKIN CUTE!!!!!!!

I ADORE The Ruff in that last shot - too CUTE!

Okay, I have a confession to make. I''ve been keeping a secret.

Well, not a secret exactly, it''s more that I''ve just been very preoccupied with getting married last month and a bunch of work stuff. But still, I''ve been a bad PS''er and haven''t shared pics of the wedding gift that now-DH (yikes!) and I got each other.

So with no further ado, introducing Miles:

 

[BigDiamonds]

I know he has kind of an alien look right now, what with his mutantly huge eyes and old man ears, but we just love him to death!!

 

[BigDiamonds]

In my rocking chair from when I was little, with the blanket that my mom knitted for Coltrane when he was a kitten:

 

[BigDiamonds]

Reading a Harry Potter book

 

[BigDiamonds]

Chillin'' in the bed (you can''t see him, but Coltrane is in the bed too

)

 

[BigDiamonds]

And the two babies together. Coltrane was NOT happy at the beginning, but I think he''s already happy to have some kitty company.

 

[omieluv]

Lynn, what beautiful pictures of your little man!!

...with no further ado, introducing Miles:

OMG, he is so precious!!! I can't wait to watch him grow...

More pictures pronto!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BigDiamonds]

So here is the long story behind little Miles. DH has been in graduate school while I''ve been working full time. He is home almost every day with Coltrane, and Coltrane has grown up with that level of companionship. He gets really sad and anxious when we''re gone for too long, and he''s always running to meet us when we come home. As much as I loved how attached to us he was, we were worried about how he would be when DH starts working this summer. We had been debating another kitty for a while and finally decided to use the wedding as an excuse to take the plunge. We got married in June and after we got back from the honeymoon DH started job hunting. The timing was perfect, because he''s around to look after Miles while he''s really little, but then Coltrane and Miles will have each other when we''re both gone all day.

Coltrane was a seriously unhappy camper at the beginning, but he''s gotten over it. At first he was just really curious about Miles, but once he realized what was going on and that Miles was here to stay, he just buried his face in my elbow and CRIED.

It was so sad!!

He kind of sulked for the next few days, but he''s gradually coming around. He''s actually fine with Miles, but he''s been holding a bit of a grudge against DH and me. He''s starting to get over it, but he''s still not quite the same. It''s hard to watch, but I keep hoping that he will get back to his old affectionate self and appreciate Miles'' company. They already play together a lot and sleep together sometimes, and it''s just so cute.

And so, Coltrane and his little brother Miles are doing well, and I promise to share more picture soon!

 

[BigDiamonds]

Oh one more thing...

We are expecting him to be BIG. His dad was 18 pounds and his mom was 14, both of which are very large for unfixed Ragdolls. However, he didn''t really come to us in very good condition. Honestly, I''m not thrilled with the breeder because of it. When we got him he was underweight and his coat was really rough. He eats like a horse and his coat is already a million times softer, but he was less than 3 pounds at 17 weeks. I''m hoping he''s going to catch up over the next few months. He''s certainly trying - he eats as much as Coltrane!

He also had a low-grade heart murmer, which I know is common at that age. Lynn, I think Boo had something similar. Still, all combined it doesn''t leave me feeling very pleased with his breeder. Ironically, I had to pry him away from her because she had wanted to keep him as a stud.

 

[BigDiamonds]

OMG, Lynn that picture of Boo sitting up is SOOO cute!

He''s such a handsome boy!

Great new pictures of Omie too! Diva is such a perfect word for her. Beautiful and knows it!
