Thanks Dolly. Temperatures here in summer can reach the high forties, and the farm dogs still do their work in such heat! They are amazing, and so filled with a sense of responsibility for their sheep or cattle.

This is a pretty dog. And I bet they get hot and tired working. We had a dog that looks like this dog. I enjoyed reading your poem. Thank you for sharing. Have a great evening.

time for a much needed break. God gave dogs a good instinct to take life slow and easy during those hot summer days. Best of luck in the contest.
Sweet dog image.

Comment from GARY MACLEAN
Nothing says hot and tired like a sleeping dog. They always seem to know where to find the best shady spot too. I like your contradicting statement "dusty tree." One might think it's cooler under there but with the heat it still seems dusty.
Good job.

Ciao mystery poet, you have 3 votes now!
Dogs on a farm are very active but you can see they love doing what they do.
I used to trim my dog s fur in Summer to help her cope with the heat.
I like your take on this contest about Summer.

This 5-7-5, Worker Takes a Break, has the right setup and finds the border collie cooling off with his wick tongue out to rest.

Poor dog looks a bit tuckered out in the heat - this has got an Aussie feel to it. Yes they have hard work to do in tough conditions, but as you say they are highly respected workers.

Comment from LateBloomer
Hello author, excellent 5-7-5 poem. Good alliteration--letters S and D.
No fluff or fill-in words.
I especially liked:
dog pants under dusty tree
(Good Imagery)
As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. LateBloomer

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
I see lawn care workers, roofers, builders resting in hot shade and I feel for them. I've never thought about all the "working animals" out there.
A good example of a short poem that tells a story. Thanks for the author's notes.

Comment from harmony13
The author's words are descriptive, interesting and creative. I thought about the life of these dogs and how hard they work. The dog looks perfectly content resting in the hot shade! Thank you for the author's notes - I like hearing about the history. The artwork is awesome and compliments this poem.
