It was very enjoyable in the Fellowship Church in Grapevine Texas where they held a Dog Days Weekend. It's fun and memorable!
Could you say what they exactly do on that weekend?
I don't know what they do at that church, but it may not have had anything to do with dogs, Rafee. Â "Dog days" are what we call the hottest part of the summer, when (before everyone had air conditioning) people suffered from the heat. Â I just looked it up: Â My source claims they're called that "because they occur around the time of the heliacal rising of Sirius, the Dog Star (kyon seirios)". Â Usually that's later in the year, say August, so it may be that erickadelaune's church called this a "Dog Days' Weekend", even before it gets hotter, partly as a joke because they did do something related to dogs.
This event is a part of the ongoing new sermon series "Wild" to share God's standard and respect for animals. This event is such a great and nice effort to reach into their local community as well. Â
This has nothing to do with the topic, but it's kind of funny that '3 dog night' means the very opposite of 'dog day.' Eskimos are said to sleep snuggling close with their sledge dogs to keep warm, so it is an extraordinarily cold night when not 1 or 2 dogs but 3 are employed to heat the master.
But frankly I have never heard that idiom used in real life except as the name of that rock band, and I wonder if I might not be among the majority in that, and why.
