Half Full by Maria Scrivan for September 28, 2022

Dogs put up with a lot from us humans.

You look so adorable!

My dog yrs ago wouldn’t wear one she loved the cold and snow then come in and sleep near heat or the couch

“Originally, the phrase dog days had nothing to do with dogs, or even with the lazy days of summer. Instead, the dog days refer to Sirius, the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major. To the Greeks and Romans, the “dog days” occurred around the time Sirius appears to rise alongside the sun, in late July in the Northern Hemisphere. They believed the heat from the two stars combined is what made these days the hottest of the year.” (Wikipedia)

All days are dog days, and yes, that outfit is embarrassing.

Well, at least no one will recognize me…woof

The blind leading the blind.

Dogs get cold too! It was really cold here in Connecticut this morning. We haven’t turned the heat on yet, so it was even chilly in the house. Finnegan offered no objection when I put a sweater on him this morning. When he doesn’t want it, he lets us know … growling or refusing to put his front legs through the armholes.

Hey, Muttlette, just be glad she didn’t think you needed shoes, too!

You’d rather be cold?

From Thunder Shirt to Ugly Christmas Sweater? Just roll in some decaying foliage to hide from the ridicule.

The other day I saw a dog driving a car, and the man in the passenger seat was sticking his head out the window.
