Dog Days Of Summer
Manage episode 427005063 series 3126304
When Sirius would appear in the sky just before the sun, in July, that marked the beginning of the very hottest days of the year.
The Romans referred to this period as "dies caniculares" or "days of the dog star," which was eventually translated as just "dog days."
Too hot to handle?
Now that the world seems warmer and that last trade show of the first half of 2024 was over at PVG last week, we are counting the ‘Dog Days’ as July 4th in America approaches Thursday wishing all A SUPER SUMMER 2024!
At home we look at our four-legged friends with some passion whilst they continue to do what they have always done best as great spirits looking up every time, we enter the room and no matter what, asking us the same question with longing in their eyes:
“What’s up?” they always want to know.
Lulu, our faithful companion (pictured here), could not be described as a wonder dog, that’s for sure.
No heroics on tap for July 4th either.
