Dog with a Fan on a Hot Day

Uploaded: July 21, 2011 04:18:23

Description

A dog has got to do what a dog has got to do. He overheard me saying "I'm not a fan of this hot weather." He thought I said "Get a fan ...." He then grabbed a dress (God knows where he found that -- maybe playing tug-of-war at a re-enactment). Then he ran outside, sat, and posed. He's hot -- and not happy. May bring new meaning to "dog days of summer."

Sometimes a smile helps us keep cool too. Just having DD fun in this sweltering heat.
