Any ideas for 1st Birthday?

[lsailor]

My pup's first birthday is fast approaching (October 10th). He is very much a Libra and would love a party or something where attention can be lavished on him.

I would really like to hear suggestions, ideas, and what you have done for your dogs.

Thanks!

:bday:

Trip to the beach for a splash with any doggy freinds and a steak?

A proper doggy party if he has doggy friends with doggy party games and doggy food (and of course supplies for the humans!). We always have a Christmas party at our dogclub so i can give you some ideas of games if you want. :wink:

How about a Petendipity Pampered Puppy Party?

They only do this in Miami, Florida but it's soooo cute! One of my girlfriends just did this and it was awesome! They come to your house with all their products and display it for you to feel, touch, etc. It's like a tupperware party - remember those? I got the cutest things for my boys.

For all those who don't live in Miami, Florida - they have somthing like a baby gift registry - but for your dog. You can either invite your friends to purchase items for your pet or you give them a list of all the items you'd like and then they email all your friends with your wish list.

They have some really cool stuff - just a thought! :)

That one sounds like it might be the ticket. There is an off-leash dog beach within 20 min. driving distance and I have never even taken Beckham there. I'm sure he'd love it.

BTW - if any of you have specific game ideas or recipes for doggie treats/cakes, I'd love to hear them

Thanks :D

ok some doggy party games:

Musical chairs- owner has dog on leash and same format as human musical chairs only with a dog. Mayhem when it gets to just a few chairs.

Musical downs- down your dog on the music.

Relay races- 2 teams and make up a mini obstacle course of a hoop, low jump and then a pole to go around (owner and dog must do all obstacles together ...dogs usually do better than handlers :P ) then bring back a beanbag or ball. First team to get all items is the winner.

fastest sausage eating contest. Again 2 teams and place a sausage or something tasty at the end of garden/place then each team meber goes in turn with their dog and first team with the sausages eaten wins.

Thats just a few off the top of my head. Good luck and don't forget the camera. :D

Those games sound great. I never would have thought of those on my own. Can't wait to try a few of them out :)

Dog freindly beaches are wonderful. We have one about 45 min. from here, new in the last year or two. Kavik will go from March to November. :lol:
Hope you and your pup have fun.

One of my favorite doggy games is the Hotdog Retrieve.

The handler throws a hotdog and the dog needs to bring it back uneaten!! I swear, I have seen it happen! There are dogs out there that WON'T eat the hotdog!!!

It's very funny to watch.

lol they used to do it that in a real obedience test years ago before I even started doing competitive obedience only it was with a pork pie. I taught Meg to carry a raw egg without breaking it when I was teaching her retrieve and now because she had to be gentle with that, she never mouths on her retrieve article or scent. :D
