Tomorrow will mark the beginning of the Dog Days of summer. This is a period of 40 days that begins on July 3 and continues to August 11. Sirius, the Dog Star, rises with the sun during this time and since this is the season of hot weather, our ancestors associated the scorching days with the Dog Star---thus Dog Days. By my observation, every day is a dog day. The number of people with dogs is unbelievable---walking past our house, at the lake, in the RV camp, even in the flea markets. It seems that we're going to the dogs!
