The dog days of August and other sayings

Posted on August 18, 2011 | Leave a comment

We’re in the Dog Days of August (northern hemisphere), or so my mother always said. So where did this saying come from? Well, it always referred to the hot days of summer when the heat tends to be greatest and with little breeze or wind. And the dog connection came from the belief that Sirius, the Dog Star, was responsible for the weather because of its close proximity to the sun.

What are some other common dog sayings?

Dog and Pony Show used when you are putting on a display to convince people of a product or service; it comes from the traveling circus days when dogs and ponies often shared the show ring

Like a Dog with a Bone when someone won’t let go of a subject, and referring to the possessiveness of dogs when chewing on a bone

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie which means not to talk about things that have caused problems in the past – clearly referring to the surprise you may get when disturbing a deeply sleeping dog!

And of course The Top Dog referring to pack order and the person who is the highest in rank or importance

Inner peace

Posted on July 4, 2011 | Leave a comment

This has made the rounds many times over the years…but it is still a goodie!

If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,

If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,

If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without alcohol,

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

…Then You Are Probably

Carrie dances the merengue

Posted on June 15, 2011 | Leave a comment

Carrie is a Golden Retriever from Chile. Her owner, Jose Fuentes, has taught her to merengue with him. Thanks to the Internet, the pair has developed a reputation, appearing on television shows like The Late Show with David Letterman.

There has even been a petition, of sorts, to get Carrie and Jose onto Dancing with the Stars as a guest act!

Here are a few videos of Carrie, thanks to the power of You Tube.
