Friday Funnies

Which title do you prefer ... Doggone, It's a Dogs Life or Hot Diggity Dog
Since it's summer time, how about the “dog days of summer"  as it's going to be a hot weekend one here in New England.

Many people use those words to mean really hot weather, but the phrase has nothing to do with actual dogs. Instead, it refers to the "dog" star, Sirius (not the satellite radio company) in the constellation Canis Major, and its position in the heavens. When Sirius rose with the sun in late July, ancient Greeks and Romans called this the hottest time of the year.

Stay cool, everyone and enjoy Your weekend.

We're having hot and humid until Monday so it's easy going for us INSIDE with the a/c's!!

It hasn’t hit 100 degrees here yet and that’s so unusual for Texas!

Those dogs made me smile. Those lazy hazy days of summer seem to be passing us by here on the Isle of Lewis. We have a little sun but no real heat.

Dog days of summer would be a great title. Some cute dogs you captured. Was warm and humid during the week but the last two days, nothing but rain and lots of it.
Enjoy your day!
