The Dog Days of Summer

Lil’ Toot here. Summer is My most Favorite Time of year. This Time Around, though, has been smokin’ Hot very Early. I mean exceptionally Heated. Mom and I venture out into the Sunshine early in the Morning, before Mother Nature turns up the Furnace. I romp and Play. I check out Hidden Places. I explore New Roads and paths. I’m living unstuck.

But Mom is into Exercise and noticed Her Step Count was less than last year. Uh-oh. Unacceptable. So, around 1:00 pm, We were out and about. Mom figured It was past Noon, so no problem. Halfway through the walk, This Pup planted all four feet in protest. Hot, Mom! She scooped Me up, and on We went. Getting back home, Both of Us sat for a Bit. Tail wags. Living unstuck.

How about You? Do You enjoy Summertime? Or is the heat too Much for You? I say: Join Me in celebrating the Dog Days of Summer. This year is Topsy turvy, but One Thing you can Count on? The Swelter of Summer. I’m loving it (in moderation), Myself. Live unstuck. #unstuck-living#dog-days-of-summer

A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.
