DD: Things the dogs learned this summer: Part 1

Number of entries received for the 2008 InnermoonLit Award for Best First Chapter of a Novel to date: 10

We got the tiniest sheen of drizzle last night—the first time it’s rained in weeks—and it knocked the edge off the heat. Today it’s not supposed to reach the 80s, and it hasn’t been that pleasant in months. So this is a good time to look at the summer of '07 in the rearview and see what lessons it held. For the dachshunds, of course. I am beyond learning much about summer except it seems to be getting longer and hotter.

Here we go. You might want to take some notes on this.

Lesson #1: Weeds grow even in a drought. Help your owner with the pruning chores.

Lesson #2: Eat plenty of green leafy vegetables for hydration and antioxidants.


Lesson #3: In the summer, it's best to stay on top of the blanket.
