being extra kind like if he did something special? If so how can we make it where he knows it is just his special day B-day instead of like any other day?

    Your dog will enjoy his special day but then be disappointed it didn’t happen again the next day. Then he’ll get used to normal days until the following year.

      I don’t think he’ll be disappointed. When it’s storming my dog gets to sleep on my bed and other nights he’s okay to sleep in his crate. I don’t think he’s disappointed on the off days. I’m happy if I get a bonus for free ice cream, but I’m not really disappointed that those things don’t happen everyday.

    You could start the day by looking at him and saying “birthday” and in 20-40 years he should catch on.

    I refuse to help until I see a photo of your dog blowing out their candles. Extra credit if they are wearing a party hat.

      Don’t know if I will get banned for this or if PETA will come kill me. Our local butcher shop will make a numbered bone. And we push a candle inside and light it up. About 3/4 thru Happy B-day he will grab it and put out the candle in his mouth and take it off the steak we put it in and run and eat on it.
