The Dog Days of Summer

“This Dreadful 100 Degree Heat

Is Going To Last All Week.”


The National Weather Service


 


Music:  Who Let The Dogs Out?


 


I could really use a bigger backyard pool

These horrifically hot and humid Dog Days

More and more canines, are now showing up

The Doggy Grapevine must advertise my place


My nasty spouse roars, as she peeks out the window

She thinks it’s a riot, that they have taken over my pool

And I guess that I really can’t blame these hot canines

These dreadful Dog Days, make it real ruff to stay cool


I just wish that I could charge all of these dogs admission

And I wish my spouse would serve us Milkbones and Beer

But she won’t even venture outside in this hellish heat wave

“Get your own poolside refreshments, it’s nice and cool in here!”


So I guess that the dogs and I are gonna be on our own all this week

But I know that eventually I will have to make another hot Snack Run

I can recall those good old days, when I had this old pool all to myself

But I guess, in these dreadful Dog Days, dogs too, need some cool fun

Well done Ed!

If I were a dog. I would want to be in your pool.

I am not a dog and I still get into my pool every chance I get. My cats will not go in! Then again, they don't know what they are missing!

May peace be with you, love surround you and blessings abound you,

JMD

Cool, Ed. You are doing what you love, not only for yourself, but for those canines that know...oh, yeah, they know...you care. Don't stop. We dog lovers appreciate you more than we sometimes convey.

It's appropriate that you would write this one, knowing so much about a dog's life. It's great that you can provide them with a place to cool off. My brother has a river out back where his golden retriever can take a splash.

it would be cheaper if you place a hose with a steady sprinkler
in a chosen area of your back yard
peace be with you and your pals
stay kool
