Snickers, Lenz Gifts and Luxury Linens’ shop pet, is this month’s official Dog Days spokesdog.
When asked to speak about his favorite dog day afternoon, Snickers woofed, “Arf-gust is my waggiest month. It puts the wow in bow-wow!”
And rightly so.
The Dog Star is the brightest star in the August night sky. Sirius-ly! Its rising is associated with the summer floods in ancient Egypt during July and August, which were called the dog days. Thousands of years later we still name the Northern Hemisphere’s two hottest months in honor of the
canine constellation.
Snickers, a pedigree Havanese, Cuba’s national dog, is named for his chocolate color and adorable nuttiness. The Havanese breed is often trained for circus performances. At Lenz Gifts, Snickers loves to greet people, entertain them, and most of all, be held. Customers say he is 12 pounds of Adorable.
Debbie Lenz says, “Snickers is my baby. He’s so spoiled. He likes to play and cuddle. He sleeps with us at night, but he will growl if you try to move him. He’s so darn cute he can get away with it.”
So stop by Lenz Gifts and Home Accessories’ at 1473 U.S. 64, West, Cashiers, North Carolina to see Snickers. Bring your own pooch and shop while the canines socialize. For more info, call (828) 743-5900.
Snickers says, “No matter where you are from, come in and pet me. Because of my international heritage, I am a bilingual barker and I can snuggle in any language.”
