Dog Days

What are the dog days of summer?
Sirius – a late comer.
	He arrives every year
	without welcoming cheer.
To some, they're a major bummer!

The dog days are pretty tough in Texas, but welcome here on the SoCal beaches.

I hear your summer has been a bit warmer than ours this year...have to admit, our temps have been lower than in the past few years....only hit triple digits by me a couple of times I'm used to double digits being the rarest in the past few years. Thanks for visiting Dave! :)

Dogs are more popular today than they were in the past. Would it make a difference in top billing? I enjoy your poem.

Thanks Hilda. I've always had pets. My favorite has always been the cat. Birds (parakeets, parrots) are second on my list, along with fish. :)
