A sun dog is one of those little everyday miracles of nature that we so often miss. It's a little rainbow. A circular spot to the left or right of the sun that can show some or all the colors of a rainbow. Caused by ice crystals in the upper atmosphere, there is the occasional up sundog, above the sun.
I've seen many, taught to look for them by my grandfather. Today was nice. One to each side of the sun and a halo around the sun for a little bit. Made my day a bit happier.
I could still crush pets, though. Foul, foul mood.
