TUXY TUESDAY WITH DOMINO: A DAY IN THE LIFE

In any given day, Domino is a very busy girl.  But today is Tuesday, and she has more than usual scheduled because it's her day to blog.


Domino's had her breakfast and now she's out front raring to go!
"Yawwwwwwwn!"

"Yes, I is feelin' verreh rare indeed, so furst off I'm gonna take a break." 



 "Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"


 "Ah, dat wuz refureshin'!", says Domino.  "Now fur a liddle Tae Kwan Do."


 "Yoo gotsta streeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch dose mussels from back ta front ..."



"... an' front ta back!  Speekin' of back, I fink I needs ta rest it."


So Domino takes her second break of the day, and it's still only early morning!


But it's not long before she hears the 'call of the wild'!   Of course, when she's 'on-call' the camera cannot follow.  But after several very long minutes ...


... Domino reappears. "I'm jus' wild about snoopin'", says she.


Once again, she is homeward bound. 


 But first things first!  When you're itchy, you've just gotta scratch.



 "Take a pichur why doncha?", she says.  So I did.



"OK, so I'm back", says Domino.



"Now wot?"


Well, it's time to check out the back yard, of course!
Herb seems to be doing just fine.


 Domino hears the 'call of the wild' yet again.  This time it's the wild ivy growing at the back of the yard.


 "One of dese days, I'll hook you up I.V., but so fah yoo seem to be doin' great on yoor own."


And no snoopervision would be complete without a little fence time.  
"I likes it up heer cuz nuffin' gets in da way of my line of vishun!"


From there, it's a short hop to the BBQ. 


Sittin' on da BBQ is makin' me hungree!" Domino declares.


"So let me IN, willya?"

 Domino has just learned that you have to be careful what you ask for!  Her crazy Uncle Barry is visiting and has taken her captive.


"Ware's da nail file wen yoo reely needs it?"
This time Domino wants to make a different kind of BREAK!

NOT To Be Continued ...

THE END

A 3-D MONDAY

Monday, Monday ... and the 3-Ds are all on the deck in the back.  It's a relatively rare sighting, especially when the camera is at hand.  So, I quickly shot six takes in a row before they all went off in different directions.


OK, kitties -- thanks for the photo op!  You can all relax now.

 Dylan


Domino


Monday, Monday (ba-da ba-da-da-da)
So good to me (ba-da ba-da-da-da)
Monday mornin, it was all I hoped it would be ...
(The Mamas & The Papas)

And the 3-Ds hope it's a good one for all of you, too!

HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY, DYLAN!

Dylan turns 8 years old today!  Because it's the start of the Olympics, he is taking his party on the road.  He doesn't want to miss one second of all the activities.


So come along with him and join the fun!


Dylan's first stop is to pick up his girlfriend Halle.

What a great way to celebrate your birthday, Dylan -- with your girlfriend at your side at the Olympics!  It doesn't get any better that that!

AND ... THEY'RE OFF!!!

Pee Ess:  And look who is going to be there when we arrive.  It's a birthday/Olympics double date!

WHISKER HUMP WEDNESDAY WITH DOMINO AND WORDLESS WEDNESDAY WITH DYLAN

Today we have a two-FUR!  First, here's Domino with her shapely whisker humps from four different angles -- so you don't miss a whisker.  And, of course, you can't help but admire her little pink nosie smack dab in the middle of the humps!





"How's dem fur humps?" asks Domino.

Now here comes Dylan, but don't say a word!  We wouldn't want to alarm him.

TUXY TUESDAY WITH DOMINO: WHAT A PUSS!

It's very difficult to take a bad picture of Domino. Whether in a pretty frock or her own tuxy coat, she is a natural model.   Every inch of her tiny frame is so expressive.


As we begin, each paw is PURRfectly positioned and there's not a hair out of place!




Then, as if on cue she gives the camera a sultry look and a pose to match!



With one sweep of her head she becomes suddenly shy.  Quite the little actress, n'est-ce-PAW?







 Here Domino PURRches prettily on the porch without a care in the world -- or so it would seem.



 She then invites you into her world with a steady gaze ...


... and just as quickly resumes her PURRofessional PAWSture. 


 Domino is elusive.  Before your very eyes, she has become a captive of the camera once again.   She is both captive -- and captivating!




Here, light and shadow play whimsically on Domino's native black and white.




And then it all screeches to a halt!  Domino's look speaks volumes.
"I has had enuff -- now get outta my face!" says she.

What a PUSS!

TUXY AND TABBY TUESDAY WITH DOMINO AND DANTE: DYNAMIC DUO

The dynamics between Domino and Dante are very interesting.  Domino is only one-third the size of her younger brother.  She comes in at just under 7 lbs., while he is a massive 21 lbs.


However, in this case size really doesn't matter.


It's not how big you are -- but how you handle yourself -- and Domino comes out on top on this one! 



 Domino is very fastidious.  After a whapping always comes a washing!


 Dante patiently waits for Domino to finish her laundry ...


 ... so they can both relax.





 You will note how Domino always takes the superior position.




This way Dante has no choice but to look up to her.


No matter where they settle ...


... the view is pretty much the same.



Even when they're on a level playing field, Domino has the anterior position.



The only exception is when Dante is doing his business -- then Domino has his back.  She keeps a lookout for any possible introoders.


"How's it going back dere, sis?", asks Dante.



"I'd like to say all's cleer, but yoor fumes is cloudin' my vishun", replies Domino.



Change is always a good thing, especially if you're a DYNAMIC DUO.  So instead of watching his back, Domino keeps guard from a distance.

"Sumtimes efun Dynamic Duos needs a DUO-OVER", says she.
