DANTE: THE "DOG" DAYS OF SUMMER???

Dante's just loving these 'dog' days of summer!

The only thing he doesn't appreciate is that 'they' are attributing this beautiful weather to the likes of 'dogs'.


"Dawgs is soooooooo stoopid!"

So what are you going to do about it, Dante?

"Forget da woofies!  I beleeves meows of all kinds deserve to be herd.  PETitions is a tool of a troo CATocracy!" proclaims Dante.


P.S.  No offence intended to any of the dogs of this world (or their owners).  PURRSonally, I like dogs, but Dante is a leading advoCAT for his species.

THURSDAY IN THE GARDEN WITH DANTE: HOSTAS GALORE!

Today Dante is in the garden where everything has truly blossomed.  There has been lots of sun and rain recently, so the plant growth has been remarkable.

"Today we is gonna consentrate on da hostas", says Dante.  "I will zoom in on dem so yoo kin take a bettah look."


 "We has three diffurent kinds of hostas wif diffurent leaf patterns an' diffurent colours of flowers.  Two of de plants has alreddy bloomed and da wun on da rite is jus' about to bloom."


"I mus' say I is parshul to hosta becuz dey are big like me.  Howevah, I still prefurs da smell of da weigela's flowers but dey aren't bloomin' any more."


 "Jus' look at all dose hosta flowers!  Dey sprouts out and up, and up reachin' to da sky."


 "I also loves buttahflies becuz buttahflies is FREE!!!"


"Before I go, heer is wun last close-up of da hosta flowers.  Dese wuns is kinda mauve.  Looks like dere's lots more reddy ta burst, too!  I hope yoo had a good visit to my garden -- see yoo next week, furiends!"

DANTE HAS IT BOTH WAYS!

You are always told you can't have it both ways, but I think Dante has been able to prove otherwise.

Witness ...


It's a wise cat who checks things out both front and back ...


... and from side to side!

DANTE: LOOKING GOOD!

I usually have to coax Dante to look at me, or else catch him unaware.  But for this shot he stared me straight in the eyes -- or rather the eye of the camera, all to good effect.


"Heer's lookin' at yoo, kids!" exclaims Dante.

DANTE PREYS FOR FRESH MEAT!

Dante's planning an amBUSH.
 
He's in the bushes, trying desPURRately to CATmouflage himself while preying on a small red squirrel.

Unfortunately (for Dante) he doesn't have a shot because the squirrel has sussed him out!

"Say 'Cheese'" says the squirrel.
