WORDLESS WEDNESDAY WITH DANTE: MY MANE MAN!

DANTE AS "THE PURRPLE PEOPLE-EATER"!

It's my husband Walter's birthday today, and I always like to make some sort of theme.  This year I lavished him with purple presents.  He got a purple fountain pen (a fine writing instrument), a purple ring (a large amethyst in gold) and a new purple shirt to dress up in.

I also make up my own birthday cards to fit in with said theme.  Dante assisted by being the PURRple PURRpetrator.  These are the pictures I manipulated:

It says:  THIS IS A CAUTIONARY TAIL ...
IF YOU'RE GOING TO WEAR PURPLE ON YOUR BIRTHDAY, THEN ...

WATCH OUT FOR THE PURRPLE PEOPLE-EATER!

I also added in my own handwriting:  "May your birthday be JUST GRAPE, and I hope you don't meet with any VIOLETS!"

Dante is so happy he could take part in making his Daddy's birthday special.  He's looking forward to giving Daddy a big wet birthday kiss when he comes home tonight.  He thinks his Daddy has really grape 'taste'.  Yum!

 

DANTE LOVES PIE RATS!

"I JUST LOVES PIE RATS -- MEE YOW!"

THURSDAY IN THE GARDEN WITH DANTE: THE FALLEN GOES BEFORE THE FALL

Dante is on the front lawn, and what he sees does not make him very happy.  No, not happy at all!

The neighpurrs have cut down the spruce tree that borders our property.  The mighty tree has fallen, and with it a home for many of our squirrel friends.

 "I cant beleefs it!", says Dante sadly.

"Its a time fur refleckshun.  Dat tree an' I has many good memories."

"Dis is da gool ole days, wen skwirrels liffed rite next door an' came ta visit efurry day."

"But now dat's all in da past."

"An' we hasta move forwahd.  At leest mai gardin's still in bloom, even doe da leefs is stawtin' ta fall."

"An' fur dat, I am verreh fankful!"

"Goodbye sweet spruce, FIRever more."

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: DEVIL-MAY-CARE DANTE!

DANTE AIRS HIS DIRTY LAUNDRY!

Dante's outside on the deck bench.  There's an ever-so-slight drizzle in the air -- almost like a fine mist, which plumps up his already generous fur coat.

"It's a good day to do my laundry", says Dante.

 Not one to PURRocrastinate, Dante gets right down to it!

"I hate it when the furs get caught in my mouth!" 

 "Although, they can be rather tasty."

 Dante's uses the 'gentle cycle' for his dainty (?) paws.

"I treats them like kid gloves", says he. 

 "Then there's that delectable stuff between the toes.  Toe jam's always good for a snack if you gets a little peckish."

 On another note, sometimes Dante gets downright PAW-LICK-TICKLE.  He tends to be DemoCATic, but it doesn't really count 'cause he's Canadian.

"Tee hee", he says.

Once Dante has finished washing the FURont, he allows it to air dry.  You can see the ruffled fur on his head from all that intense scrubbing.

 Then he 'spins' around and attacks the other end.

 "Laundry can be a PURRsonal thing", he says. "So back off, willya?"

So we did, as he attended to his nether regions.

 "Whew!", Dante says.  "Doing your laundry can be a real workout!"

 "But the results are worth it, don't you think?"

"Suddenly, I feels all washed up!", says Dante as he prepares to snooze.

But Dante has one last trick up his furry sleeve.  As an extra added bonus, he has made an action video for your viewing pleasure.  He calls it "Dante Does His Duds".

"Next time, I'm gonna steam clean", he says.  "It's better for my self-esteam."
