Dog Days

Picture by our guest Sally Otvos

They have arrived, the dog days of summer.  Time to take long siestas in the afternoon, to cool off in the pool, and to prepare food that does not require turning on an oven....

He looks cute, but he is a bad boy.  A little girl dog down the street is, well, feeling affectionate.  As soon as I open the door, he's history.  

Yesterday, he came back caked in mud from head to toe.  I don't want to know, I really don't.

It's all that built up "frustration" from not being able to "have" Lucy!

Cara Diana,

He's had a ball. That's for sure. And why not? Killing Dog Days/time is what August is for. Bacione, Ingrid in Umbria

Should Max be registered as a sex offender? (smile)

Max is a virgin. At least that's what he tells me. However if I start seeing little beige puppies in our valley I will have to brand him a liar. :)

He's a mischievous one, that Max! At least he's a cute rascal. :-)

No wonder Max is all tuckered out . . . it won't be long now until the pups arrive on your doorstep . . .
