A Little Drabble Do Ya - Dog Days of Summer

[avirra.livejournal.com]

It's hot and humid here - so this seemed like a good one to choose for today's drab.  Keep cool, cousins.

"The Dog Days of Summer have arrived."

"Do you mean it is hot and humid? If so, I agree."

"I wonder why so many bad things are associated with dogs?"

"I could think of a few reasons, but what things are you referring to?"

"Like 'let loose the dogs of war'. And 'going to the dogs'. If you get jumped by several fellows, it's a dog pile. A nasty guy is called a junkyard dog. And that's without counting the ones associated with a female dog."

"Man's best friend."

"Pardon?"

"Dogs must hang around men too much."
