I thought we had discussed this, but do not see a message or thread about Dogs. I had dogs as the theme of may radio show yesterday. This was based on the expression "Dog days of Summer" which i found to be
connected to the time 20 days before and after the day that Sirius, the dog star rises with the Sun. Approx. July 3 to Aug 14. here are the songs i played on my radio show.
