DANTE: RUFFING IT!

Dante's out on the front patio bench on a breezy September day in 2010.

 His fur coat is absolutely massive!

 The wind picks up a little and ruffles Dante's ruff which also gets his back up.


Let's face it, when you have a mane as bountiful as Dante's,
 you'll always have a 'ruff' time of it.

DANTE: AUTUMN GLORY!

Well, now it's officially Autumn 2017.  This picture of Dante, however, goes back to the Fall of 2009.

Dante always seemed in his element in the autumn.  His orange hues were accentuated by the fall colours all around him, so much that he actually glowed.

Of course Dante was a stand-out in any season, but in Fall he was truly at ease with his environment.

DANTE: YOU GOTTA BACK YOUR OWN HUNCH!

Dante's PURRusing the landscape from his PURRch in the porch chair in September of 2012.  It was a beautiful sunny day which provided a lovely light display on Dante's fur.

And happily, all was quiet on the neighPURRhood front so he could hear the birdies singing.

"I has a hunch!" remarked Dante.


"Dat's why I'm hunchin' forward."


"Yoo kin just call me da Hunchbacka No-traffic Lane."



Looks like that hunch paid off!

DANTE GIVES AN ASSIST

This is Dante on the front patio in September 2010.

He is communing with the environment and admiring the beauty of the season.  
Then he decides that Mother Nature needs a little help, so ...


... he climbs the tree and shakes the branches.



The actions of a true beLEAFer!

DANTE: TIME FOR A CHANGE

This is Dante in the back yard in September 2012.


The wind is ruffling Dante's munificent mane as he turns his attention to something behind him. With the season about to change ...


... it must be the sound of all those clocks ticking!

DANTE: OUT OF THE SHADOWS

This is Dante in the back yard in early September 2014.


The leaves from the trees filtered out most of the sunlight except for some which illuminated Dante's beautiful face.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime shot, methinks!



Shine on, Dante my love!

DANTE: TICKLED PINK!

Here's Dante in September 2014, trying to bridge the gap between summer and fall.



He didn't want to get into darker colours just yet, so he chose the transitional (and some would say more feminine) pink.  Dante in pink only serves to enhance his mancatliness, however.

His dusty pink felt fedora with gray band and feathers is more suited to the cooler weather, while his pink, white and black striped bowtie gives him a rather cheerful appearance.

Never was there a mancat more dappurr and dashing -- or, as it turns out -- more tickled pink!

(Note:  Hat feathers come in handy if you, too, are desirous of a good old-fashioned tickle.)
