ideas for a dog's birthday party

[Michie]

any ideas? Our dog will be 2 soon or would that be 14?

Last year we just put some canned dog food in her bowl and sang happy birthday. This year, she has made friends at doggy daycare, so think we will do more but not sure what.

As long as you know the doggies are all healthy, vaccinated and socialized, you can have a absolute blast!! One year, we went all out for our first greyhound. There was a dog cake bakery in town, that made special birthday cakes for dogs. We had about 8 "friends" over with their humans in our back yard. We decorated the back porch and favors in Scooby Doo, have some great photos of everyone lined up wearing their party hats. (all sizes, to toy poodles to Shepard's were there) Played games, and everyone had a blast. I had scooby doo party favor bags filled with dog gourmet treats. I still look back on those pictures, and just smile with all the memories. Gracie, our first greyhound, is at the bridge now, just seeing the pictures with her and her cake makes it easier somehow.

Be warned, it was with this party it was finally agreed by all our family members that DH and I were nuts. That's okay. Our dogs are our kids. Kids can have parties, why not furchildren?

I wanna have a doggy birthday party for my dog! What a great idea!

How about having a "treasure hunt" if it's outside. Hide treats in boxes or flower pots or something like that. OR, what about a kiddie pool?

Rozzie can you post your pictures?

Oh I would love to, but it was before digital camera days. (well before we became digital ) If I can figure out our scanner I will be happy too!

Our oldest dog passed away not too long ago and our little dog is still depressed so that is one reason for the party.

She has been going to camp during the day, and when she is there, she perks up.
