Title: Billy and Baggy
Post by: carl (billy and baggys dad) on November 16, 2006, 15:16:20 PM: For those who haven't met them before, these two fine figures ...

(http://www.websitedesigners.org.uk/sf/bb.JPG)

... are King Bilbo and Mr Baggins, who were dumped by the side of the road and left to starve. Luckily for them they were rescued by Teresa at Paws Inn (to who we are foever grateful) and nursed morning and night back to full health. Bilbo unfortunately lost his eye due to it being ulcerated. They came to live with us in December last year and now live the life of Riley in the middle of the Cheshire countryside, hunting meeses and finding holes in the hedgerow by day, and cuddling up by the fire or in bed by night.

Thats us really :)

I was going to take a more up to date pic this morning but Baggins said he wasn't looking his best because they were up 'til late watching The Deerhunter with me last night. It'll have to wait 'til later ::)

Bilbo is quite a mellow kind of dude, he keeps his energy for the outdoors. Baggins is usually 110% energy until he drops. He can move for a big 'un too :evillaugh:

Post by: carl (billy and baggys dad) on January 07, 2008, 21:54:43 PM: Thanks very much Teresa, they've grown into fine figures of cats all right, but as I've said before, its yourself who should take the credit (and, when they're wrestling at 3am, the blame :evillaugh:) for them.
