Happy Dora here! This weekend was a blast! Memorial Day is the official kick off of my favorite season- Summmmmerrrr! Amy and I visited some friends and enjoyed the beautiful sunny weather. Insider Tip- Bringing a 5 pack of Licks to the potluck made me a real hit with all my doggone friends. This weekend, I had a little bit of time to sit down with my iPad, so I compiled a list. I’d like to present the BEST and WORSTparts about being a dog in the summertime. I’m sure you all have your own input too, so don’t be quiet. Bark up with your opinion! But here goes-
+PLUSes+
- Kids are out of school [and that means that more people are outside and want to pet you]
- Backyard Picnics [yummy food spreads are out for the single purpose of sharing!]
- Sprinklers!!! [petite mid-walk cool downs are never more plentiful than on a residential road in the summer ]
- Extended walks (on the beach sometimes too!) [even if your owner gets cold feet the rest of the year, things are always different in the warmer months when it comes to summer strolls]
- Swimming [or should I say... ahem... "doggie paddling"]
- Look-a-like Contests [well, they always seem to happen in Summer. Amy and I usually do pretty well!]
-MINUSes-
- Fire hydrants are opened [an entire year's worth of work, just gets washed down the drain]
- Fireworks [enough said]
- Heat [even though I switch to my summer coat, you don't always feel great in those high temperatures!]
- Seeing other dogs in the backseat of parked cars [
]
I, for one, am looking forward to the dog days of summer! I hope that you are too!
