3-D CATS IN HATS DETECTIVES

Today the 3-Ds are 'literally' wearing the hats of famous fictional detectives.

Dante is the legendary Sherlock Holmes with his tweed cap, bowtie (with bowtie pattern) and wooden pipe. He's on watch for anything untoward and uses his pipe to create a smokescreen for his undercover explorations.  His senses are finely honed so there's not much he does not PURRceive.  

Especially with those high-powered binoculars of his!

Dylan is the world-renowned moustachioed detective Hercule PURRot.  He is sporting a jaunty black and tan checked fedora and the obligatory bowtie.  With his monocle he keeps a sharp eye out for all things nefarious, whether it be day ...

... or it be night!

And sweet little Domino is the diminutive 'Miss Marple' (Agatha Christie's famous snoopPURR) in her brown felt and feathered cloche hat and matching bow.  She's at your door and has brought her valise, so you better let her in -- especially if you want your mystery solved!

 Here's Miss Marple hard at work doing what she does best, i.e., snooping!

  Nothing is PURRivate when Miss Marple's around.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY WITH DYLAN AND DANTE: AGREEING TO DISAGREE!

DOMINO ON SATURDAY: MEOW AND THEN!

When Domino wants something she really lets you know.

 "Let me IN!"

And then ... "I mean MEOW!!!"

3-D CATS IN HATS IN EARLY FALL

The 3-Ds are out and about and enjoying the early fall weather.

Now that fall is here, Dante has chosen to wear warmer colours mixed with black and white.  His hat is a rust and navy pork pie hat with black band, and his bowtie a rust, orange, white and black mix. He is also sporting a watch (with timer) that has a coordinating band; half black-and-white zigzag and half rust suede.

"I wonts ta get Fall off to a good start", says he after starting the timer. 

 Dylan is ever so dappurr in his ivory and black herringbone fedora with black band.  It is decorated with a swath of feathers in pinks, reds and yellows.  He has selected his bowtie picking up on the pink theme which matches well with his mood.  Fall always makes Dylan feel like he's in the pink. He prefers the cooler weather.  Dylan also has a watch with a rust suede and herringbone band, but he's not concerned with time right now -- just with enjoying the moment.

There's no 'bones' about it.  Dylan's really into herrings, especially the red ones.  So much so, he has even copied their style!

"I jus' luvs a liddle 'smoked' fish, doan yoo?" he asks.

Domino is on safari in the nearby woods.  She has chosen a wide-brimmed green and black animal print hat, and a sturdy astrological pendant as a good luck talisman.  She is backpacking it with a stylish black and lime green studded pack which demonstrates her true 'metal'.

"It kin dubble as a weapun if I efur runs into trubble!" she declares.

No wonder it's not safe to go into the woods anymore!

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY WITH DYLAN: FALL DROPS IN!

3-D CATS IN HATS AT SUMMERS' END

The 3-Ds are making the best of the waning moments of summer.  They have chosen hats that they feel will also transition into fall.

 Domino is wearing a gold coloured Sinimay hat with much flourish, and many flourishes.  There's even a small gold starfish near the peak.  The theme is carried over into her stylish scarf which is patterned with stars in peach tones, and fastened with a starfish brooch.

The starfish she is holding between her paws is actually a little clutch bag studded with pearls!

And even though starfish predominate in Domino's chosen attire, today, she is still the brightest star of all.

"I jus' rolls wif it!" says Domino.

 Dylan is quite dapper in his navy blue Stetson and navy floral bowtie.  "I has lern'd not ta pick da flowers, so instead I jus' wears pichurs of dem.  Dat way I kin keep dem fresh furever!"

However, some things are not so easily kept.  Dylan's feline a little blue as he says goodbye to his friend, the bluebird, until next Spring.  "Is a bittersweet time a yeer!" says he.  "So flock off now until we meets again."

On the other paw, Dante is having a rather 'pheasant' experience greeting his feathered friends who have just arrived for the fall season.

He is sporting a navy and white pork pie hat with red band, and a rather large red and blue floral bowtie.  He is also wearing a watch with a blue and red paisley band to coordinate with his chosen colours. He really likes to make a statement, he does!

And that statement is:  "Fezants is moar dan jus' birds, dey is a Fanksgivin' dinnah all wrapped up in colourful feddahs."

Who knew they could move so fast?  Run pheasant, run!  

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: DOMINO HITS THE BRICKS!
