Dog Days of Summer

Dog with Sweater

Bangkok has been really hot since we got here. When the temperatures dropped into the 80’s for a couple of days, people immediately started dressing warmer. But they were not the only ones. When I asked our landlady why her dog was suddenly wearing a sweater, she said: “Oh, he was so cold!”
