I don't know WHY..but I do know that the mockingbirds that had been singing at the tops of their lungs all Spring are silent during Dog Days. They still come to my feeder; they still sit on the wires and glare at my cat; but they don't make a sound.
with most breeds of dog a female would be ready to stand for a male during the middle week of that season
The dog days were the days when the Dog Star, Sirius, rose just before sunrise. Ancient Romans believed that the hot days of late summer were caused by the Dog Star, and thought that dogs went mad during this time (also that wine spoiled, people became hysterical, and seas boiled!). Due to the precession, or movement of the universe, Sirius is no longer seen in the same position from Rome, but the expression has stuck. So a dog day afternoon would be the afternoon of one of the very hot, sticky days at the end of summer.
Usually the Dog Days of august- the heat wave or hot part of the summer.
The average is 63 days (9 weeks) But can range from 58-72 days.
Around 62 days.
I read somewhere that the ones that sing at night are males that do not have a mate.
I was told that the reason mocking birds don't sing during dog days is because this represents the great flood of Noah Dog days lasts for forty days and forty nights.

My friend's dog can sing and it sounds just like a person except it sounds like your dog's bark not someone's voice.
Dog days refers to the sultry days of summer.
