Dog days of summer

Can’t you just feel it? The days get warmer, the rain stops, and so do we. We’ve been waiting for a summer that just didn’t seem like it would ever come, and then when it did last week, we got like Casper here and stopped for a break.

Actually he was one of those well bred finalists for the local pet parade in Litchfield, CT, during the town’s Fourth of July weekend celebration. It’s one of those towns where everyone and their dog is a pedigree. We just showed up dressed like pedigrees and for a few hours, got away with it.
