Gosh! Dog-Day! Greetings and blessings to all dogs!
Then there are the "Dog days" a period of time during summer (in the northern hemisphere) which were called that by Greeks, Romans, and I think the Egyptians.
This time marked the rising of the dog star, Sirius. When it became noticeable in the night sky.
There's some information on Wikipedia here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_days
That ran from some time approximately beginning of July through to just beyond the middle of August.
Both Misty and I were born in the dog days. So you see, dogs have more than ONE day to celebrate which is a good excuse for lots of dog treats!
