This term means "sultry, summer weather" and also "a period of stagnation or inactivity."
But it has nothing to do with pets.
Sirius (known as the Dog Star) seems to reappear in the skies in early July. Its rising coincides with the warmest time of the year in the northern hemisphere – thus, the dog days.

If you are one of my regular's then you might have noticed that I didn't blog for a whole 4 days in the beginning of July...for me, that's like missing in action, come find me, unheard of, oh wow! LOL If you're now wondering what I was doing I was madly making one of my Sassy Quotes books, 2 to be exact. One was commissioned and the other one was needed in the store.
entering my Sassy Quote book into:
2 Creative Chicks - 3-D challenge #4
For anyone that's never seen them ( these are # 4 and 5 ), I love that women buy them for their friends! To see them read it is a hoot, they giggle and chuckle...brings a smile to my heart!
Glitz Designs - Cashmere Dame papers
And while we are smiling, let me introduce you to my newest friend...
Stella from Bugaboo Stamps!
You know I love snarky, funny humor!
I broke out my neglected Sakura pens and colored in Miss Stella and the border, using my water color pencils for her flesh tone.
Added 2 very tiny yellow rhinestones to her glasses ( they just have to match her blouse, right? )
Are you smiling? If you are, then my job is done!

Yes, your job is finished over here in Fargo. ;)
Hi Sandee, nice to hear from you and thanks for your comments on my new blog look! I thought I lost you for a minute because when I clicked on your name it went to your Google+ blog. Glad you're still here on Blogger. These quote books are fab! I bought this paper kit after I saw the first book you made. Haven't used it yet, though! (: Sounds like your store is doing well. Happy for you!
Oh Sandee, this post is fabulous! Literally made me laugh out loud!
BIG SMILE over here, Sandee :))
Your books are fantastic! Seems like you had a lot of fun creating them.
Hugs,
