DANTE: TAILS OF SPRING

Dante says there's always one true telltale sign of Spring.

And this is it!




Why, you may ask is this a telltale sign of Spring?
Because the tail is spring-loaded, of course!

DANTE KEEPS COOL!

Dante's sporting his hat and tie, suitable for warmer weather.  Of course, it's still a little nippy out there, but he was just too anxious to shed his winter coat.

Besides, even Dante's Spring and Summer coats are pretty formidable.  But to keep a cool head he really needs a cool hat ...



... especially if he wants to be one 'Cool Cat'!

Blingo!!!

ACCORDING TO DANTE SPRING IS A MUST-HAVE!

Here's a double take of Dante in early Spring with the snow fast melting away in the background.


It's an exciting time as all the smells that were buried in winter waft about, except now they're even mustier!



"Wot kin I say?  ...

... Spring does wot it MUST!"

DANTE: A TAIL TO TELL

Who's that behind that mound of snow?

 "Why could it possibly be ...



... ME?"



"Let me make that very clear!"

DANTE THE PROCRASTINATOR

As usual, Dante is a little late.


"Well, bettah late dan nevah!" said Dante.

Truer words were never spoken.  Besides love is eternal, so what's the rush?



"Now is dat reely so hard ta bear?"

DANTE LEAVES YOU HUNKERING FOR MORE!

Dante sure is a hunk of a cat.

And here he is hunkering down for a long, cold winter.


What does that make him, you might ask?


Why a hunka, hunka, hunkering love (of course)!

GROUNDHOG'S DAY WITH DANTE REDUX

Shades (or is it shadows) of Groundhog's Days past.

Dante has blindfolded the groundhog (aka Enemy of the State) and is attempting to cover his shadow with snow.



In a second attempt to stifle the groundhog, Dante is getting ready to haul him away (still blindfolded).



Confident that this scheme is going to work, Dante turns and wishes efurryone a "Happy Groundhog's Day."

Groundhogs are also called Woodchucks, but I'll bet you've never had anyone wish you a Happy Woodchuck's Day, have you?


And here's the little fella all locked up safe and sound -- at least until tomorrow!
And because Dante thought he might be somewhat cheesed off, he gave him some (cheese, that is).


"At leest I gots lots a CHEESE!!!" exults the groundhog in delight.

Don't worry little groundhog, you'll be PAWdoned tomorrow.


Have you ever seen a happier woodchuck, which begs the question:

How many chuckles can a woodchuck chuckle?

DANTE TAKES A POWDER!

Dante always loved a good snowbank.  To him it was the world's largest litterbox.

And this one was powdery soft.


It sure beats toilet paper, anytime!

"My nedder regions start ta freeze an' den I hasta thaw dem out.




"Good fing I'm fulla hot air!"
