The Dog Days of Summer

The Dog Days of Summer are here!  It is so hot I’ve only been going outside to take care of the necessities…if you catch my drift.  It’s supposed to get up to 108 degrees here today.  That’s not the heat index but actual temp! 
 
As a result of this extended heat wave, I’ve been chillin’ indoors where it’s cool, playing fetch in the living room, watching a little TV, etc.  One show on the Animal Planet titled Dogs 101 especially caught my interest.  Below is an image of me enjoying an episode.  It had me on the edge of my seat, or should I say armrest.   
 
 
In ancient times it was believed that the extreme heat of The Dog Days was due to the star Sirius’ (also known as the Dog Star) close proximity to the earth.   Sirius please do us all a favor and go fetch in a galaxy far, far away.  I’m one hot dog in need of some “Sirius” relief. 
 
Love & licks,
Gumbo
