DOG DAYS OF SUMMERIt’s commonly thought that the expression “Dog Days of Summer” refers to the hottest time of the year. If true, that would have been during June’s heat wave. But the expression actually derives from ancient observations of Sirius, the Dog Star and its annual rising in the morning during summer.  It is also the brightest star, after the sun. The Old Farmers Almanac places Dog Days at 40 days from July 3 to August 11. Both observations just happen to coincide with (typically) the hottest time of the year.But, what if you actually have dogs and you want to enjoy the hotter days of summer in Clark County WA?  Here are a few suggestions - just remember to bring water for yourself and your canine companions. And observe common courtesy - leash up where required and always cl...
