text:  Dogs need to eat less in the summer, so my dog tends to put on a little weight in the summer if I don't regulate that. Absolutely. Fourth of July, obviously, is in the summer, and really rough on dogs. There's just a lot going on. For sure. A lot of dogs like yours is from Northern Europe. You've got a golden retriever. Mine's a Rottweiler, and they're from Germany, where it's typically cooler. So here, they've got some extra challenges. Yeah.
