WORDLESS WEDNESDAY WITH DYLAN: UP ROARIOUS!

DOMINO & DANTE: A 'DUAL' PURRSPECTIVE

This is a portrait of Dante and Domino on the back deck in September of 2011.  I used a watercolour effect to, hopefully, great effect.

I think it's one of the cutest pictures of the two of them together.  Dante looked quite majestic and seems to overpower the shot, yet your attention is drawn to this little black and white head peeping out from under the deck.

This picture also emphasizes the massive difference in the size between the two.  Why Dante's tail virtually dwarfs little Domino!  Nevertheless, as in life, she dominated him.  Domino was and is a tiny tyrant.

That Domino's a SWAT team all on her own!

DOMINO: HATTY CATTY IN LATE SEPTEMBER

Domino has chosen today's ensemble based on the latest buzz that "Orange is the New Black".

(Biggify for best view)

Her butterfly friend is smiling with approval at her orange, brown and black striped flapPURR hat adorned with orange flower and ribbon.  Her gorgeous necklace is strung with citrine and fire opals, and her bracelet is also composed of bright orange citrines.   And Domino's black and brown purse with orange geometric shapes is a great match for her retro hat.  She's found a good place for it to hang, too -- between the ears of that metal cat ornament!

"I has always bin a fan of black becuz it goes wif my complexion", says Domino.  "But orange reely spices fings up, and it's a wondahful contrast to my black and wite furs."  Spoken like a true fashion icon!

"I sooooo happeh!"

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY WITH DYLAN: FALLIN' IN WITH FALL!

DOMINO: HOW TO MAKE THINGS BUTTER

Domino has a 'pet' peeve, and she's here to tell you all about it.

"Dis is a story of woe, but it hassa happeh 'ending'."

 "Yoo see efurry year at dis time, appulls fall from da tree."

"An' it reely drives me bonkahs!"

(That's because they go 'bonk' on her head.)

"It makes me go appullplexic!"

(Translation:  Apple-related apoplexy)

"So I tot if you kin make lemonade outta lemons ...

... why not make appull 'butt-ah' outta appulls?"

THE END

DYLAN & DANTE: LOVE BITES!

As you know, Dylan and Dante were very close.  Here's two more pictures which illustrate just how close!

 Once more Dylan and Dante are a picture of brotherly love.

"I cudda dun wifout da love bite!" remarks Dylan.

But even after that they were still 'best butties'!

DOMINO: HATTY CATTY IN MID-SEPTEMBER

Domino likes her apparel to be in keeping with the changing seasons.  Here she has chosen something that is appropriate for the end of summer/beginning of fall.

Her light woven gold and black hat is adorned with both a flower and some artfully curled ribbon.  It goes very nicely with her tuxy complexion (i.e., fur coat).  Around her neck she is wearing a golden butterfly pendant on silver chain, and on one wrist is a deliCAT silver filigree bracelet studded with golden citrines.

On her other paw, Domino is carrying a gold and black floral-patterned mini-bag.  It has just enough room inside it so she can carry all of her essentials.

Domino clearly has an affinity to butterflies, because as she says "Jus' like me, buttahflies is free!"

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: DANTE & DOMINO AT THEIR PEEK!

DOMINO & DYLAN: WALKWAY ALLIANCE

Domino and Dylan aren't often at peace together, especially inside the house.  Dylan likes to pester and Domino doesn't like to be pestered.

However, when they are outdoors together it's a different matter.  They seem to work together peacefully, even forming an alliance, as it were.

Here they are on the front walkway.  Dylan is checking out one way and Domino is checking out the other.

Domino is more easily assured, however, and Dylan (being Dylan) still isn't sure if it's safe.

"Who noes wot cud be lurkin' out dere!" says he.

"Good greef!  Takes my exampull an' just chill" remarks Domino.

But Dylan still feels he must walk this way, and that, before ...

... finally making himself vulnerable.

"Doan worry -- I'll protect yoo!"  declares Domino.

The moral of this story is that you can safely let your guard down when you rely on your ally.  After all, it's by far the biggest benefit of any alliance -- walkway or otherwise!

DYLAN: THE MAKING OF AN EYE-CON!

This is a picture of Dylan from September of 2013.  It remains one of his best portraits ever.

 True to form, he is in a PURRpetual state of alarm.  Just look at his wide-eyed stare -- what a guy!

"Dee eyes has it.  Dat's why I has becum sucha EYE-con!"

DOMINO DONS A FEATHERY DELIGHT!

Domino has really done it this time!  Her hat is truly over-the-top (and I don't just mean the top of her head either).

How gorgeous is she in this taupe wide-brimmed hat adorned with pheasant's feathers?  She is wearing a black lace collared necklace with brown beads and pendant around her neck which coordinates so well with her hat.  She has also added a simple black leather bracelet, with a neutral-toned butterfly, for that extra-added touch.

But if you thought her hat was outrageous, just look at the dark taupe leather purse she selected!   You couldn't ask for better 'footage' for a fashion model, could you?

"If yoo wants anuddah feddah in yoor cap, dere's nuffin quite like pheasant season!" exclaims Domino.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY WITH DANTE & DOMINO: SNACK TIME!

DYLAN'S QUANDARY!

Dylan is on the fence about this one!

"Duz I leaf it alone or follow it on down?"

DYLAN & DANTE: FOOD FOR THOUGHT!

Dylan and Dante had lots in common, not least of which was squirrel-hunting!

Dante lets Dylan take the lead on this one.

But even if he's barking up the right tree ...

... it looks like that squirrel is only gonna be 'food for thought'.  "Rats!"

"Duz I look like a rat to yoo?"

DOMINO: HATTY CATTY IN SEPTEMBER

Domino's out and about in her new hat for September.

Even though it's still summer, she's opted for more autumn tones.  Her hat is woven amber-gold with wide brim.  She is wearing a sterling necklace with an enamelled 'sail' and jewelled citrine pendant and her coordinating bracelet is gold with ivory pearls.  Her bag is but a simple tote with gold-leather accents -- purrfect for carrying all those "must-haves".

"Since I'm posin' fur yoo anyways, I fawt I'd hold sum posies, too.  Posin' wif posies -- dat's me!" says Domino.
