Are dog birthday parties a thing?

[vicky]

Not like at doggy daycare, mofongo lol
Like there's a dog park at this beer garden we go to with Toby and there are always groups having doggy birthday parties. Not just people with dogs, they invite their friends too!

I guess it's a celebration, bitches. Lol.

[vicky]

Also, they pay for these parties here. Like wine and beer and food.

And a doggy photo/kissing booth.

I was thinking with a group of friends I had that were all rescue/shelter staff I could see little get togethers and stuff like that for dog birthdays.
Then you got to dog kissing booths...

No, this is not a thing.

[sproctopus]

I would much rather go to that party than a party for a kid.

[vicky]

My stealth picture taking skills suck lol

[mcmel]

It should be a thing.

[sproctopus]

It's even cooler than I imagined.

One of my best friends used to throw a birthday party for her dog every year. She'd invited friends and family (and their dogs) and have a cook out with food, beer, etc. It was a lot of fun. Just basically an excuse to get together with a dog-friendly cake for him and party hats. She stopped doing it when she birthed a human child lol. I miss the dog parties, though.

Well, yeah! Nobody WANTS to go to a kid's birthday party but the kids. Total parental sacrifice. A dog party is a party with a bunch of dogs, lol. Sounds great!

What is it called when you don't have kids, but still get invited to about 6 kids parties a year?? HUH?

"regrets!" lol

[orangeblossom]

Yup, sure is.  I've been invited to one.

The Petco and Petsmart sell things for dog birthday parties, like banners, hats for the dog, etc.

I've been to a dog birthday party before. It was at a dog park with a former nestie and was lots of fun. They even had a doggie birthday cake and brought cocktails for the "humans".

Bingo.

I need friends with more dogs, less kids.

Yes! My dog went to one once and got a loot bag after for him. It was so cute!

I die!

I just did loot bags for my 33rd birthday.

Dogs and humans alike deserve loot bags.

[pandorica]

I wish this was a thing! I would totally go.

[statlerwaldorf]

So there's food and booze? I approve of pretty much any reason to drink. I've never heard of it IRL, but I kind of want to do this for Moose now. But should I do his estimated birthday or his adoption date?

Don't limit yourself!

[wambam]

Didn't miso go to one once?

[happywife]

My bitch and I have never been invited to one.  Probably because she's a giant asshole who tries to eat anyone who even looks our way.  </3

[jlt19]

SIL owns a pet supply store and they offer dog parties. They get booked semi often too!

I thought it was the best thing ever!

Dog birthday parties sound awesome! I haven't done it before but am now considering it. I need to find this magic alcohol dog park is so I can throw a party there for my dogs and friends.

[thecatinthehat]

If my dogs weren't such assholes (read: if we spent more time training them not to be assholes), I'd throw a party for them! Instead I bake pupcakes and order human cake just for us. The first year we had a kid, we totally forgot the dogs birthdays until like a week or two later
