They call those really stagnant, hot days of August, The Dog Days of Summer. You want to stay inside and if you have go out into the inferno, you don’t want to move, kind of like him.
So what do we call the early days of spring? The Puppy Days? Everything is young, playful and happy, just like a puppy. You just want to be outside running around and playing, kind of like this guy.
OK maybe if you are me, you prefer to be parked in a lawn chair with an ice cold water and a book like the guy to our right. 
But puppy days they are, and today was one great puppy day here in North Carolina, 83 sunny degrees. It was just beautiful and I did pull out my lawn chair and book and went on a regular mini vacation.
Just eight short days ago we had six inches of snow on the ground, no school for two days and my lawn chair, had it been outdoors would have looked like this.
Now for the really sad news. Tomorrow’s high is a balmy 44 degrees. What do we call that besides u.g.l.y.?

I hate these back and forth temperature changes like that. Pick a season already and stick with it! I hate the winter one day and almost summer a week later. I like your idea of a lawn chair and a book though, sounds great.
I hate them too – today was maybe 42, rainy and ugly. And I was a big grump….I wonder why???

I love calling them the puppy days of spring – we had one here today and my puppy girl and I sat outside on the deck soaking up the sunshine. Here in OH we are supposed to get a few 60-ish days in the next week but I just know there is a sneaky snowflake lurking around the corner – it’s just too soon to declare winter ended! Hugs!

What a great idea! I love the pictures they are so cute. Spring is a time of rebirth so the puppy days of spring is perfect.
