Duffy the Westie is, according to @KarenDorman, "kind of a grumpy old man these days"

I am not 100% sure he approves of my choice of hat - possibly a little young and flamboyant - but it does coordinate very well with his blanket.

It is the end of summer (in my part of the world at least*).

I started the summer with the Silly Summer Hatting project, the summary of which is shown below (& you can still see the full size images on the hashtag).

Planning an hour or two later of not doing much at all, so if you missed out, and would like to sneak your pet in at the last moment drop a reply to this thread.

*and working with meteorological rather than astronomical autumn, obvs.

Ooh, good job I remembered to go back into notifications or I might have forgotten the delightful Carlo who requested a hat while I was offline @anja

The lemur wanted to join in with silly summer hatting, although with a more serious, moody hatting manner than most, obviously.

Spent a while watching the spider monkeys, in particular this and another adult with a wee baby one. They were adorable, and funny, and I didn't get any great pics because I was too busy enjoying their escapades. Thought I'd cheer this one up with a sparkly tiara. Didn't work.

Good evening Mastodon. Would you like to see a perpetually nibbling capybara wearing a sparkly stetson? Aye, you do.

Side note on the whole Silly Summer Hatting thing.

We went on a trip to the zoo last week, and as I watched a fantastic orangutan grabbed a sack and made themselves a Silly Summer Hat.

What a star 🤩

I will, inevitably, sort through and post my favourite photos from the trip at some point soon, but here's a starter.

Kona was wondering if I had a hat that would complement her favorite box. I hope this one will do the job @sbourne
