Dog Days of Summer?

Sammy is laying on a down filled pillow in the corner of my office. Every now and again, he will let out with some guttural noise and a herky – jerky movement. No, Sammy is not my son, he is a West Highland White Terrier. He’s quite possibly the best dog in the world. Most of his waking hours are spent sleeping in my office. When he’s not awake, he sleeps in my office on that same sheep skin covered pillow.

If I happen to bring myself some kind of sustenance in order to keep up the pace necessary to complete this next book before we go back to the moon, he looks up at me with in glassy eyed, dazed, stare. He then yawns, rolls over and puts his head back down on the pillow.

TV weatherman, Eric said last night that we are going to have two more days next week over 100 degrees. That will make 6 or 7 so far along with close to 20 days above 90. Oh and yes, it is the humidity. Talk about lousy hair days. When I go outside, I have that ‘70’s throwback look; the blond haired guy with a perm.

Now, Eric said that we’re going into the ‘dog days’ of summer. I was half asleep when he said that, but I do remember yawning, rolling over and putting my head back down on the pillow, in a daze.

So, as we’re getting ready to go into the month of August, if you come across someone with a glassy eyed stare, or you just feel like sleeping all of the time, don’t worry. We’re in the ‘dog daze’ of summer.
