Buy a new toy for your dog and wrap
it in newspaper and a bow.
  Your dog will
love tearing into it! 

   

Or, make your own dog toy - stuff a tennis ball into an old sock and tie a knot in the open end of the sock (close to the ball) for a fun new fetch toy.

If you want to plan a full-scale birthday blow-out for your dog, complete with guests - both human and canine - (and feline) see some great party planning ideas:
