Hot, white sun glaring down at them
The ground is disturbed with snuffling paws.
An excited breath escapes their jaws.
Their eyes are twinkling like a gem.

Curious creatures that cause mayhem.
Digging for with gold with sharpened claws.
Hot, white sun glaring down at them.
The ground is disturbed with snuffling paws.

Sizzling hot when switched to PM.
Cooling off at my feet their sprawled.
Three hot dogs put in their beds to withdraw.
To wait till the morrow to begin.
Hot, white sun glaring at them.

Watching my dogs run wild in the backyard inspired me to write this. The warm weather and the fact that their weiner dogs made me think of the title....get it? :)
