Dog and sun


I went out first thing this morning to start the watering and saw one of our dogs in this pose which reminded me of Egyptian hieroglyphs and sculptures. I felt it was saying something but not sure what.

I have looked it up and apparently the 'Dog Star' or 'Sirius' was very important in Egypt as its arrival at a certain part of the sky at the Summer equinox – June 21st – signalled that the Nile would rise and flood which as necessary for Egyptian agriculture.


A good sign hopefully!
