Hullo all

[carl (billy and baggys dad)]

Just replied Teresa

Took this the other night, Baggins stretched out on the sofa. His back paws were toughing one end, and his front was *just* touching the other. He's MASSIVE now 

[Teresa Pawcats]

Carl have pm`d you

[carl (billy and baggys dad)]

Thanks all, is good to be back here again 

We would love to come and say hello Teresa! It would be good to catch up. Sorry you're so full though 

I've not seen Liumm today. Just been to have a look around the fields but he's nowhere to be seen. I've left some food out for him so fingers crossed he'll come and eat in a bit.

[JackSpratt]

Thought I'd written on here....good to see you back, Carl. Love the photos of Baggins. Also, hope you can win Luimm over in time for winter.

[Kirst]

Lovely to see you back Carl - and what a handsome lad Baggins is! I am sure Liumm wilol have his paws under your table very soon!

[sheryl]

Lovely to see you Carl.  Im sure that between you and Baggins you will soon have the little stray settled and at home x

[Rosella moggy]

Lovely to see you back Carl.  Was thinking about you a couple of days ago as I was having a mooch through gallery.  We have 7 now    Latest is a scruffy little 10 week old dude found bedraggled by a canal that we are dithering about name.  Definitely will not be calling him Greebo though ( to Sue  )

So glad Liumm is providing some distraction from Bilbo's loss.  It's comforting to know they hang around the house when they go isn't it   

Big cuddles to Baggins 

[Teresa Pawcats]

Welcome back Carl, its made my day to hear that Mr Baggins pants is doing so well and it seems into his own style cat rescue too  Think of Bilbo often and its suprising how often those boys come into conversation.
Still waiting for you to visit and you can pick up some catnip toys at same time, not much hope of you doing any catnapping now you have Liumm though.
Love from us all here and please give Baggins extra hugs from us     

[maryas]

Welcome back - nothing changes on here, we're all still nutters with the help of Tan 

It takes a long time to get over our losses and to stop crying but your new addition will take a bit of pressure off you.

Hoping to see some happy and content pics of Liumm.

Mary and the wonderful Bonnie - still getting her daily and nightly cuddles 

[Tan]

Cooo he is sooo gorgeous  Gingies are stunning    Give him a huge hug from me. He's like my Fuds and Marl put together 

Hmm will sort out some very strong USA nip for Luimm for ya  That will do the trick.  I used catnip on enticing Pudding the stray in to the house and it worked. He was like a unscardy, soft roll of gorgeous fur rolling about in my hall and i could stroke him catnipped up 

T has about 20 million babes at the Inn at the mo  Check out Paws Inn thread in General Rescue

Thanks everyone, is good to be back. Its lovely to mske your acquaintance Sayj 

Baggins is doing grand as you can see, and getting fuss and cuddles enough for a legion of cats ...


We're all still missing Billy. It doesn't seem to get easier. He's still here though really - a few things have happened since he went that have made me think differently about all things spiritual. Just little things, but he's definately still around. It was and still is his home, where he's loved.

Liumm (pronounced Leeee-ummm according to Baggins) appeared one day, following Baggins around. They get on really well and its as if Baggins has a little apprentice. Hes a little black and white lad, really thin when we first saw him, but hes been putting some weight on with the Doctor Baggins diet. Not tried catnip with him Tan, its been in short supply since Billy went and the shipments stopped coming in.

How are you all? How's Aunty Teresa doing??

EDIT: Just got another pic of me and him before he ran off so you can see how big he is ...

[clarenmax]

Hey Carl, great to see you back hun, we always miss people when they've been away 

Would love to see some new pics of Baggins as we've not seen him in ages!!!!!

Oh and your little stray dude as well 

[Sam (Fussy_Furball)]

Woo hoo long time no see Carl.  Glad you and Baggins are doing well and I'm sure as it starts to get colder little Luimm will see sense and move in! 

I just wanted to say I'm so sorry that I missed your post about Bilbo  I was having computer issues in December and it seems I completely missed the thread. 

[Tan]

Heyyyyy Carl  wonderful to see ya hun 

Huge hugs about goregous Bilbo    I bet he's watching you and having a good larf trying to make friewnds with Luimm.   

How is the handsome Baggins doing? Has he been ok? I do looooove gingies 
What does he thionk about Luimm?  Hope they will get on and such a brill thing ya doing for Luimm 

Have ya tried catnip with Luimm?

[Sayj]

Hello Carl , we haven't spoken before , but it's nice to meet you, I hope you and your moggies are well

[Tiggy's Mum]

  back Carl

Nice to hear from you, I bet it's hard with Bilbo still but Baggins does his best to comfort you 

that you can make Liumm (is that pronounced as in Liam?) see sense by winter 

[carl (billy and baggys dad)]

Hullo all, just thought I'd post a message to see how you all are. Still getting over having no Bilbo around here, but Baggins is doing grand - he's the most affectionate little (massive really) dad's lad ever!

We've also got a little stray that we're looking after called Liumm. He appeared around the yard a little while ago and was really nervous, but with a bit of patience and time we've gotten him to come in for food. Still won't let us stroke him or go near him though, but it'll happen. We want to get him in here sleeping before winter comes.

Anyways, enough about us, how is everyone?
