Response Magic 
Without a doubt we have all heard that expression!! And quite a few songs have been written pertaining to and titled as such. But I was curious as to when and why this phrase became associated with one of my favorite seasons. So of course I googled it and found out that the phrase “dog days of summer” has been used since ancient Roman times. Also the Greeks had a similar phraseology associated with dog days of summer!!
Obviously summer gets very hot and humid, mans best friend is known to seek shade and lay about. HAH like us humans don’t either!! (hammock under a tree) But we all know on the hottest of days our dogs are not as active, unless of course you have a pool!! But I digress the Romans coined the phrase “diēs caniculārēs” or “dog days”. Because the sun occupies the same region as Sirius in the summer. And Sirius is part of the constellation Canis Major, meaning big dog. Sirius is the brightest star and the Greeks refer to it as “scorcher”. So there you go, this phrase has been used for millennia!!
Dog Days of Summer enjoy them
Clearly summer provides us longer days to enjoy good old summertime!! So take advantage of getting a little sun; my doctor told me I needed to get at least 15 minutes of unprotected sun to raise my vitamin D levels. We all know how important vitamin D is to our bones, teeth and muscles!! After your 15 minutes of exposure then apply your sunscreen. Moreover as we age our body needs supplementation of essential nutrients. For this reason I researched a fantastic company to provide you with all natural plant based products to do just that!!!
