Suggested Theme: Dog Days (Latin: diēs caniculārēs) are the hottest, most sultry days of summer (typically July & August in the Northern Hemisphere). The name comes from the ancient belief that Sirius, also called the Dog Star, in close proximity to the sun was responsible for the hot weather. In more recent years, many people relate the phrase to the laziness of domesticated dogs (who are in danger of overheating with too much exercise) during the hottest days of the summer.- Wikipedia. Although we experienced some rain over the weekend, the hot weather is bound to return. What about this amazing weather makes it an ideal time for your business? and/or How has this summer 2012 been treating your business thus far?
