Dog Days Are Here.
Dog days began on .fitly 25th.
Different calendars place the date
of their beginning differently, but
the most popularly accepted time
is from July 25 until Septembers.
The origin of the term dog days
is from an ancient custom of as
sociating the causes of the recur
rence of sultry seasons in summer
and of maladies with the time
when the Dog star begins to rise
at the same time with the sun.
