Day #29 - Dog Days Of Summer

I don't know when the Dog Days of Summer officially start, but we started celebrating today - by staying indoors in the AC while being very lazy.

I saw Chewey finally settling down and was wishing I had my camera handy for a few shots. Dionne said she thought he'd stay calm as long as I carefully left the room to get the camera. So I walked very quietly to my office and grabbed the camera and flash.

I made it back to the living room where Chewey was still being very calm and quiet. I was able to snap these without rousing him too much.
