DOMINO: SNOW PRINTS-ESS!

Here's a lovely winter image of Domino leaving her footprints in the snow.


She always likes to leave her purrsonal imprint on things no matter where she goes.



 Even if she has to use her butt to do it!

DYLAN: HATUS MANUS CATUS FISHUS

It's O-FISH-all!   Dylan's all hatted up and ready to go ice fishing.

It can get mighty bitter out there on the frozen water, so Dylan's chosen a warm woollen plaid flatcap with earwarmers, in charcoal gray and red.  He has paired this with a gray and white plaid scarf and is also wearing woolly mittens to match.

On his back feet he is wearing heavy-duty leather waterproof boots to fend off the cold, and to get a good grip on the ice.

Dylan's seal friend is extremely happy about the ice fishing, as that is one sport they have in common.



He is so happy, in fact, that he has given Dylan his ultimate ...


Yay!

DOMINO: HATTY CATTY MAKES NO FAUX PAW

Domino never puts a foot wrong when it comes to fashion.  Some may think that faux fur is a faux pas but it's environmentally and morally right.  No animals were harmed in the making of these winter warmers.

Here she is in a glorious silver-gray and black faux fur hat that encircles her entire head.  Her wrapped scarf is made of the same material and is fastened with a silver celtic brooch.  Her mitts, too, are fabulously fake.

The boots are black leather Uggs trimmed in silver-gray fur.  There are two bands with buckles around the leg-part of each boot, and the soles are both waterproof and good for gripping on those January icy patches.

Domino has chosen a funky faux leather bag with silver metal embellishments, and draw string closure as a quirky accoutrement to her ensemble.

Her friend "Bun Buns" is also into faux, especially since her ears are very sensitive to the cold, as are her little toesies.  A Russian-style hat and foot warmers are just the thing to keep her in step with on-the-go Domino!

"I loves wearin' hats, but I shur don't wanna be one!" says Bun Buns sincerely.

DOMINO: HATTY CATTY POST CHRISTMAS

Domino is following the "cardinal" rule, after Christmas, and that is to thank efurryone who gave her a present.  She has lots of friends, so she had lots of thank-you notes to write.  Domino prefers the purrsonal touch instead of sending emails.


Domino is wearing a red knit hat with touches of black (very cardinal-like).  The wool is knit into a flower pattern in front, and is embellished with white crystals.  So, it's not just her purrsonality that sparkles!  This hat was part of a set.  It came with matching mittens which she is also wearing at the moment.

Around Domino's neck is a red cashmere scarf with white lining.  She has fastened this with a silver brooch of a cat wearing a red hat (art imitating life purrhaps?).


Domino's purse is red faux leather with silver accents.  She is using the purse to hold all of the thank-you cards she is about to post.  Lucky for her there's a mailbox not far away.


And her friend, the cardinal, will be watching every step of the way.
"Rules is rules" says the cardinal.

Cardinals really DO rule!

DYLAN: HATUS MANUS CATUS POST CHRISTMAS

Now that Christmas is over (though the season is not), Dylan is busy helping Canada Post to deliver all of the packages that didn't arrive on time.  These were the gifts ordered by humans -- not by Santa (as you know Santa's always in the "Nick" of time).


Dylan doesn't think these poor folks should have to wait a minute more, so he's being as quick as he can.  "I'm innit fur da long haul" says he.

He's well prepared for the cold weather with a brown wool flatcap with red and dark green stripes.  Around his neck he has one of his own Christmas presents -- a striped Louis Vuitton scarf, in shades of tan and red, as are his woollen mittens.

To keep those toesies from getting frostbitten, Dylan has some very warm taupe and ivory fleece-lined boots with rubber soles to keep his feet dry.  They also have touches of red which is nice but not as important as their ultimate function.

Dylan is using one of Santa's empty sacks (with the approval of Canada Post, of course) to help transport these wayward packages to their final destination.  His training as a Christmas reindeer has certainly prepared him for this task.  "Imma regulah beast o' burden" he remarks with a sense a pride.




And next year Dylan's looking forward to starring in a new Christmas comedy called 
"Carry On Reindeer!"
