Birthday party suggestions, please! I never imagined myself being the type of person to throw a dog a birthday party. NEVER. But, Sully's 1st birthday is coming up (August 8th) and I have found myself getting more and more excited by the day!!!! Everybody needs a reason to get together and celebrate, RIGHT? So, I've decided to "throw a birthday party" for Sully on Sunday, August 7th! (All of you are invited too, of course, LOL!) :cake: I'll invite my friends & their dogs. (But very few of my friends here in town have dogs.) :star: But I need your help! I can't make up my mind and I want this to be a lot of fun for everyone! So give me your best birthday party suggestions! 1. Am I better off suggesting that we have the party at the park, my house (I have a nice back yard) or at the lake? (The lake is more fun/better view but I can't make pina coladas at the lake, so, hmm...) 2. Cute/simple party favors? 3. Something simple I could bake/cook anything for the dogs? ---- PS. :giftbox: I have decided to get Sully either a Bumble Ball or a Hide-a-Squirrel for his birthday...but I haven't bought either yet. I can only afford to get one of them. Which do you think? |
HI Val :) Hi I thought I would never be one to have a dogs birthday party if you would have told me years ago I would have said get real but alas prudence is 4 and a half months old and Im thinking of having one and inviting her 2 brothers from the litter.ha ha ha :) dianne :) |

That's so funny that Prudence is just 4 1/2 mo. old and you're already thinking about her birthday! LOL. Watch out, it will come faster than you think! I wish I knew Sully's littermates and could invite them, that would be sooooo cute! |
adorable You know val sully really is adorable I wish one day to come to your beautiful country maybe Ill meet a few yorkie talkers.I have a cairn terrier as well I fell in love with them after watching toto on the wizard of oz and I stay in touch with his breeder and prudence ( a yorkie of course )well the lady I got her off lives a bout an hour away she kept one brother and the other one went to another lady not terribly far from me and living in such a small country nz there arnt alot of breeders of yorkies here.Oh and I cant forget my jack russell well she was from what you would call a puppy mill no other name for it I love her to bits to. :) dianne :) |
Definately you should have a birthday party for him! Its his big day! Cant wait until i can celebrate Pudgy's first birthday. We have a doggy bakery here in seattle. They make all kinds of goodies for dogs. Maybe you could see if you could get him a cake if you have one where you live! |
The Hide-A-Squirrel looks cute, and since he seems like he likes spying and stuff... ;) If it's mainly for the dogs, outside would be best for them to run around and have more fun (unless you have a big yard!). Yoda usually gets a big hamhock (no salt added, just boiled) on his birthday, as that's his ABSOLUTE favorite food in the world! Here's some links to YT threads about homemade doggy treats, let us know whatcha decide to do, and we're excited to see pictures/videos of the big day! http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...t=cake+recipes http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...t=cake+recipes http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...t=cake+recipes |
I bought a box of carob cookie mix from petsmart and a bone shaped cake pan from Petedge I believe....Maximus loved the cookies and next time I think I will make a giant dog bone shaped cookie for him..and I will also use it for his b-day cake...sounds like FUN!!!!...go for the squirell!!!! Oh!!! and I think your apt. or the park sounds good!!! |
Oh parties! yay! we love parties! Well annie loves her hide a bee and hide a turtle to no end... So I would definately say she gives :thumbup: :thumbup: to that! Maybe for party favors you put little doggie bones/biscuits and maybe those tinie tennis balls and put them in a doggie bag to give to your doggie guests? lvmyyrki (or something like that) had gone to a yappy hour and they serve doggie daquiris there. She said the doggies loved those. Maybe you could make those. Here's the recipe she gave: 1 cup peanut butter 1 cup plain yogurt 1 tbls honey 1 cup water 2 cups ice Blend well and freeze. Makes approximately 10 - ½ cup servings for your dog and his/her friends I bet having the party at your place would be just fine, and more easy! |
Here's my idea. Make up games for them to play. Have little doggie prizes for the winners. 1. Relay race- first to get to Mom wins!!! 2. Have a basket of toys. Pre-determine the winning toy. Dump the basket and the dog who picks up the right toy wins!! 3. Doggie Limbo- see who can crawl the lowest under a pole/jump the highest over the pole Maybe have a little baby pool for them to splash around in I'ld have it in your backyard. All party-goers will be safe. And take LOTS of pictures so we can all see the fun!!! |
my dog rusty had one, we're going to have one for tucker too. i think you should get him the hide-a-squirrel. i think you should have the party at your house. thats all i've got, good luck! |
The local Three Dog Bakery near me, offers a b-day party service. http://www.threedog.com/ The price was pretty inexpensive (some price under $100 definitely). You get to host the party there an hour before opening. All dogs get full run of the store. You are encouraged to invite all of your friends (and their dogs). And, your dog gets his own b-day cake! Three Dog Bakery sells lots of treats too, ranging from simple cookies to tarts to cakes. |
For Tuffy's 1st birthday I made banana pupcakes. The dogs loved them! Here's the recipe.. I used banana baby food instead of bananas since I had it on hand. Banana Pupcakes 2 cups Water 2 bananas 1 tsp vanilla 3 cups flour 1 tbsp baking powder 1 egg 3 tbsp honey Heat oven 350 degrees Mash bananas In Bowl Mix all ingrediants WELL Pour into cupcake pans Bake 20 mns. |
A few ideals I had Sparky a puppy shower and here are a few things I did,I got a bone shaped cookie cutter and made choc. chip cookies cut them in a bone shape!We played several games 1st guess the amount of dog bone in a jar,nex i gave every one a piece of paper and pen and let them draw Sparky it could be his face or whole body thenmy kids picked the best one,which was so funny because no one was a great drawer!!I saved those in his scrapbook. I hope this helped!! :D |
:happyboun :thumbs up Alrighty!! So, I checked map quest... as I see it, it will take Bailey and I about 6 hours and 18 mins. to get to the festivities... at about 405.57 miles! Bailey thinks, the park will be fine, He said " Sully will like that", since Bailey is now 1 year and 2 months he is worldy, like that. :rolleyes: So,, what else would SUlly like,,, so we can get him a nice gift... And, what time is the party,,, so we know when to leave the house. :D LOL..... wouldn't it be funny if all the YT'ers did show up.... that would be great! I'm sure whatever you decide to do it will be fine with SULLY!! :thumbup: |
