Dog Days of Summer

Caniculares dies, said the antiquated Romans of the hottest and seemingly longest, most drawn out days of the year, in their Latin tongue. The term for these sweltering days hailing from the presence of Sirus, the “dog star”, which is most visible in the night sky during the summer. Positively humanity has been labelling the high noon phase of summer for ages; we now know such times of the year as dog days. They are those days that become oscitant weeks of perpetual warmth, the longing for autumn, winter – anything but the present heat consuming one’s upbraid.

There is a beauty to such sweltering days, as I’ve touched on before on the pages of this blog, singing the praises of the wondrous elements of summer that in point of fact cannot be replicated anytime else (for those who live in four season climate). Something else besides beauty and nostalgia lives in such languid, boiling hot days, too, or more aptly perhaps, in their name: revelation.

In this case, the inspiration behind this post is a merging of the last few immensely sizzling days (or weeks, depending on where you live) or summer various with vintage images and items featuring the term's namesake, dogs!

Yes, puppies of all sorts are on the agenda for this post, so train yourself for an onslaught of cuteness, an overload of adorableness and more doggies than you can shake a stick at (which of course said pups would pauperism to go fetch, anyways!).

Flickr yielded up a pack of both fashionable (such as magazine spreads and the perpetually lovely Audrey Hepburn) and cuddly dog themed images from the 40s and 50s, some of which I compiled into the following enlightenment mosaic.
