"The . . . dog days of summer are the hot, sultry days of summer. They were historically the period following the heliacal rising of the star system Sirius, which Greek and Roman astrology connected with heat, drought, sudden thunderstorms, lethargy, fever, maddogs, and bad luck.

Dog days has taken on a more literal meaning in our home this year. We sadly said goodbye to Aurora shortly after saying hello to a new puppy. It now looks like we're probably getting to bring home one of his brothers next week. I think Isis may be relieved to have Madrone wrestling with someone else. Right now Madrone thinks it's great fun to bite her tail and run circles around her while she snarls and snaps at him. The cats are still afraid of the pouncing puppy trying to play and they're still mostly coming out only at night.
Ron and I have almost finished with the livingroom floor and are currently working on thinning out the books and closets. If we do get the other puppy, I will have to make more space in the bedroom for the extra large dog crate. . . there's NO way we'll have 2 terrorists loose in the house all night.
