Doggy food should be for dogs, people food for people and watch the tricky dogs who don't know the difference. A nice doggy cake would be a nice treat that you can make yourself or buy wherever fine doggy cakes are sold. Email me and I can help. Don't forget loot bags. Charlie's Gourmet Dog Cookies offers bags of 20 cookies and are the best treat you can give you doggy guest upon leaving a party. It shows the good taste of the host and they taste good.

Games
Pull the tail off the cat
Take a big sock filled with a squeaky toy and attach the tail to a willing volunteer or a lazy husband and have them run around the back yard. Take lots of pictures!

Mini agility course
A cut down Sono tube can make a tunnel but not too long or it will have to be weighted.
Ski poles placed in a row can serve a weave poles,. Hang a tire from a tree (but hang it very low to the ground so most dogs will just walk through it. Have a sturdy box for a rest table (that is a low table on which dogs must lie for a 5 second count). You can add the pool as an obstacle but have some towels handy for your human guests.
And there you have it .It doesn't have to be a contest just getting through the course can reward in itself.

Keep it light remember to have fun and have a great summer!
