Dog Days in the Backyard

Bark, bark, bark, and hello to all my friends and fans. This is The Daily Bone, and I’m your host Chester L. W. Spaniel.

We are officially in the dog days of summer—I just found out this part of the year is named after us doggies—and what good days they are! The weather is fine and hot, the pears on the tree are almost ready to eat, birds are flocking to the feeders for us to watch, and the evil Squirrel Cartel is on the run. Or at least we haven’t seen them in the last few days.

Our favorite miniature human came to visit last Sunday and he couldn’t wait to get in touch with the lush, green grass. My colleague Joseph (Joey dog) Spaniel and I are going to teach him to crawl now. Hooray! 

Hi Ryan. Look at all the pretty grass!

We heard you're learning to crawl now.

OK, you're getting it.

Now just follow me! Don't worry, our humans picked up all the doggie poop.
