Here they are, the dog days of summer: the days of the summer’s peak temperatures and humidity. Technically, it is the time when the sun occupies the same region of the sky as Sirius, the brightest star, which is called the Dog Star, because it is part of the constellation Canis Major, the Greater Dog, but the days are most commonly associated with the late summer heat.
We Scotties are fortunate to be able to enjoy our cool house during the dog days of summer and not have to spend too much time out in the sweltering heat. Of course, on the other hand, some may say that the dog days are every day at our house, since Wen spoils us and we don’t lack for anything!
