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?

    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.

    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.

        Yeah okay but I’m gonna wager a wild guess here and say you’re most likely not a dog

    We always include the dog for Christmas. In my lifelong total of four dogs, they all were uncertain the first year, a little better the next year, and after three were all set to jump in and unwrap their presents. While they have no concept of Christmas and probably no explicit memories of previous Christmases, they do seem to learn year over year

    No, but you can still give him a great day and he’ll be stoked about it. My kitties get tuna on certain holidays (like xmas). They don’t know why, but that doesn’t change how excited they are.

    Oh, I’m sure he knows! Later when you’re both in Heaven (he, in Dog Heaven of course), you’ll both hang out at the Heaven Dog Park and you’ll both talk/bark about the good old days.
