Fire up the grill, because the biggest hot dog holiday of the year is here. Americans will eat an estimated 150 million hot dogs on the 4th of July. News 3 explains why, frankly, the hot dog business is sizzling.
NORWALK -- Police warn dog owners that Fourth of July fireworks can turn an otherwise normal dog into a panting, quivering bundle of fur. For many dogs, "it is the worst day of the year," Animal Control Officer Rick Duddie said.
Millions of animals are euthanized each year in this nation due in part to pet over-population. One Web site is trying to save the dogs by making animal lovers aware that their time is running out, including some of those in Colorado.
OCEAN CITY--This summer Americans will eat about 7 billion hot dogs, and a good amount of those will be consumed on the 4th of July alone!

Grooming Your Golden Retriever
07-July-08
Golden Retriever's
do require basic grooming. Golden Retrievers are a double coated
breed. Regular brushing with a bristle brush and with regular use of an
undercoat rake will significantly reduce shedding.
Golden Retriever's
needs regular bathing. You can bath your Golden as often as you like
without worrying about damaging the coat or skin. Using a good quality
dog shampoo is key to keeping your Golden clean.
The ears must be
kept clean inside and out. The hair on the inside of the ear should be
kept thin with the use of thinning shears and regular grooming shears. Hair
covering the outer part of the ear and along the edges should also be kept
neat. Ear cleaning is a basic requirement in keeping your Golden
healthy. Golden Retrievers have a tendency to get ear infections if they
are not cleaned regularly.
Don't shave your
Golden. As mentioned earlier, the Golden's coat is designed to protect
them in any type of weather. The only areas of hair that require grooming
are on and inside the ears, the tail and the feet. Their hair should also be
kept trimmed.
Their nails should
be clipped regularly. Long nails are uncomfortable for the dog and for
anyone they might jump on. Long nails can also compromise the shape of
your dog's foot, causing it to splay. Check the nails and trim them. Do
not cut to close. It is a good practice to trim the nails weekly taking
off small amounts each time.
The Golden
Retriever's tail should be groomed as well. The best way is to twist the end,
put your thumb just below the end of the tail bone and trim the end near your
thumb. Then, working from the end, carefully form a fan towards the base
of the tail.
