Birthday coming, and good/bad behavior

How do you usually celebrate your dog's birthday? My 11-month pup will have his birthday next month, and to mark the occasion I think I'm going to give him a trip to the beach, and then a visit to the vet. I think I'm going to put-off his 2nd rabies shot until after Christmas.

Anyhow, I'm so proud that my dog will come when called at the dog park, even in the midst of play with other dogs. But funny thing is, when play is over and it's time to go, he won't respond. He just sits down and becomes totally deaf until I'm forced to drag him away by the leash. If he's obedient enough to come when called in the midst of play, why does it happen that he resists my calls when its time to leave the park?

we just had out girls 1st birthdays. Celebrating included a trip to be professionally groomed ( I usually do it myself) followed by some photos to remember the occasion. Then each girl was taken to the pet store and allowed to pick a toy of her choice. As the girls have birthdays 5 days apart, it was a very exciting week. On Monday Tonks got a toy (and Luna too, as she was feeling left out) and then on Saturday Luna went a picked a toy. So three new toys ( that greedy Luna got two), mat free dogs, and some cute photos to remember it all by!

As for your dog park questions, I don't know what to tell you. My guys do their come command really well; and always respond when called. Maybe its a frequency thing; does your pup go to the park often? If trips aren't that frequent, maybe he doesn't want to leave as he's not sure when he'll be back? Or maybe he's being a typical "teenager" and testing the boundaries...?

Anyone with more experience want to weigh in?
A...did I miss you posting the 'kids' birthday pictures?????? OMG....How cute are they????? I love the 'dork' picture!!!! Wayyyy tooo cute!!!!!
heheheheh... you know me; have camera, will travel! You like those, wait til you see the Christmas ones I shot! For thos of you in the dark, you can see the photos here.

Cadenza; i must add; get photos of your pup's birthday. For one thing, everyone here LOVES to see new photos. And second, you'll enjoy them for your whole life. I still frequently look to my pictures of the sheepdogs we had over 30 years ago.

Thanks, Darth Snuggle. I will.

It is however, rather difficult to take good pictures of sheepdogs. The high contrast of their black and white fur challenges the dynamic range of even the best modern digital sensors! You really need to bring out the professional gear to get decent pictures out of these boys, since it is essential to use the histogram and light meters to figure out the proper exposure.
