The Dog Days of Summer

“The Dog Days of Summer.” I have used the phrase a few times in my life and never really knew what it meant, until today. The internet is a glorious thing. including some useful knowledge. The phrase had nothing to do with real dogs, but instead the constellation Sirius (which is supposed to look like a dog....I don’t see it). Usually the constellation is visible in the summer months only to those in the northern hemisphere.

Now some may ask why I am writing about this instead of hockey, well it’s do to the fact that there really isn’t any Canucks news out there.
