Default sun dogs?

Just took these shots. The second one was taken with the chrome feature on my camera. Are these sun dogs? Sun dogs are usually two "suns" instead of small rainbows, and as far as I know only occur when it's very cold. 69F/21C is far from being cold. So if these aren't sun dogs, what are they? Any other general comments about my shots?

Lovely pics. Not sure what to call that. But sun dogs, as I know of them, do only occur when it's very cold. It was about 5*F early in the morning when I took this one out my laundry room window last December I think it was...
