THURSDAY IN THE GARDEN WITH DOMINO AND DADA (AND DANTE, TOO)

Usually it is Dante who is our Feline Gardener, and indeed he is the one who belongs to the Feline Gardener's Society.  However, today Domino has taken over -- much to Dante's chagrin.

You may recall that last November we had major reconstruction in the front yard, which included replacing the old walkway, patio and front steps.  Our old garden was completely dug up and is now a blank slate for planting.

So far the only planting has been Dante with his doo-doo, but now the weather is just fine and it's time to put down roots.  Mama and Dada went shopping at various garden centres and brought home a variety of greenery.

 And this is just the start!

Domino was the first to notice something was up.

So, naturally, she had to check it out!

 "It looks like dey took sum HOSTAges!" says Domino.

"I wundah wot dey're gonna do wif dem now?"

Meanwhile, Dante is watching from his PURRch on the porch.

 When Dada starts to dig, Domino keeps a look out.

 "Yoo cant jus' look de uddah way!" says Dante to Domino.
 "Yoo hasta keep yoor eye on him ta make sure he's doin' it rite."

"How FURustratin'!"

 So, Domino takes Dante's advice.  And it's a good thing, too, because Dada really needs some snooPURRvising!

 "Dada, doan tells me yoo is takin' a break, already!!!" says Domino.

 "Get back to work!" she demands.

"A snooPURRvisors work isn't done until da job is ovah an' it will nevah be ovah if Dada duzn't get off his butt!" says Domino.  "I reeleh doan fink gardenin' is my fing.  It's all yoors, Dante!"

"Such incomPETance!" declares Dante.  "If yoo wanna see how to be a real Feline Gardenah, join me ovah at "All About Lacocoon Dante" right now.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY WITH DYLAN: WHAT YOU EAT REFLECTS ON YOU!

TUXY TUESDAY WITH DOMINO: SPRING IS ON THE DOORSTEP

This year it has been a long and arduous journey for 'Spring'.  Every time we thought she had arrived, she disappeared again.  Up until just this past week, we have had unseasonably cold weather.  Then suddenly one day, she showed up on our doorstep.

Domino was there to greet her.

"We has bin expectin' yoo.  So glad you cud finally make it!"

"Yoo kin tell when 'Spring' is here ...

... cuz she always leafs her PURResents!"

MANCAT MONDAY WITH DANTE AND DYLAN: HE MAY BE HEAVY, BUT HE'S MY BROTHER!

Just for the record, Dante weighs in at 21.5 lbs. and Dylan around 16.  So they're both relatively heavy.  But more importantly, Dante and Dylan are brothers, and what do brothers do?  They look out for each other.

Here is Dante looking out for Dylan.

"Ware are yoo bro?"

 And here is Dylan looking out for Dante.

"I kin hear yoo, but I cant see yoo.  Ware did yoo go?"

 Once they found each other, they are still constantly looking out for one another.

And sometimes they just look out together!

DOMINO AND DANTE: A MATTER OF PURRSPECTIVE

Domino and Dante are out in the back; Domino on deck and Dante on the patio.  With Domino in the foreground she appears larger than life -- of course it's all a matter of PURRspective!

 Queen Domino and her loyal subject, Dante.

 Domino takes a bath while Dante stands guard.

"Ears to us!" declares Domino. 

 Domino has her way, and Dante has his.  "Itsa two-way street", says Domino (even though they're in the back yard).

 What's left?

 "Our enduring FURiendship", says Domino.  

"I'll stands behind dat!", says Dante.

 "Most of da time, we sees fings da same way" says Domino.

 "I seconds dat!" says Dante.

"From my PURRspective", says Domino "it's all about FURiendship, loyalty an' trust.  I trusts yoo feels da same, dear Dante."

Being a mancat of few words, he simply says "Ditto!"

THURSDAY WITH DYLAN: GETTING A GOOD LOOK WHILE LOOKING GOOD!

Dylan was standing at the back patio door.  I had opened the screen so he could go out, but he's always afraid I'm going to close it again , so he stayed in the kitchen.

I just love Dylan's expressions.  None moreso than when he is focused on something.

There's something out there that is clearly intriguing!

 Dylan's eyes are opened wide.

 He leans forward to get an even closer look.

Yup, you've got to hand it to Dylan.  Not efurryone can get a good look and be so good lookin' at the same time.  It requires years of PURRactice and a certain sophistiCATion, but in the end the EYES have it!
