My dog loves to play fetch so first thing in the morning we play together. When we want him to feel loved and appreciated we play or give him a bone to chew on. He seems the happiest when he has those rawhide bones. I often go to the pet store to look for new kinds of treats and toys so that he doesn't get bored. I love to see his face light up when I am unwrapping a new toy. His tail wags so much!

I also take him on long walks in our neighborhood park. He loves to sniff and check everything out. He also loves riding in the car so we will take him with us if we are just going out to pick up something and won't be getting out of the car.

He also loves trips to see his grandma - she loves on him and gives him lots of kisses so he just eats that up.

And at night he loves to jump up on the couch and lay right in between me and my husband so we make room for him and tuck him in with a blanket. He looks so peaceful when he has both of us there to lay on ;)

I love your answer as it reminds me of the little things mine do too. Besides rawhide bones being like "catnip for puppies," I adore watching their tails! It sounds silly, but the lab has a giant and bushy tail, while the boxer has a short little nub, both that go so fast they could fall off one of these days. Watching their tails and knowing they are happy makes me happy. It's become a running joke, when all else fails, watch dog tails and all will be better. :)

I know I love their tails wagging too. It is the most precious thing in the world. It always puts a big smile on my face. My dog is a cocker spaniel and he has the cutest little stubby tail and it wags so fast and that is how I know he is super happy and that's all I care about. He is so happy every time we come in the door. What is also cute is that if we come in and bring something in from the car and then return to the garage he gets so excited when we come back again even though we were only gone for a few seconds. They get so excited about even little things ;)

well you generally give them a treat or say good boy and pet and scratch them. You bassically show them love and affection in a very cuddly way.

Mr. Bean always gets a treat after we eat dinner so he feels like a part of our family time. He's very good (most of the time) and doesn't beg.

He also gets treats after every walk we take!
After a bath - which he hates - he gets a big plate of wet food which he loves. Also, when we come back from a trip, or on holidays he gets wet food too (we keep the wet food to special occasions - Bean was one of the dogs that was seriously harmed by the bad wet food that went out from Priority Dog Foods two years ago - he almost died and was in some pretty bad pain. Don't worry! He made a great recovery! Needless to say we're still nervous about giving him wet food, regardless of who makes it - even tho common sense dictates this is folly!)

Anyhoo, we play with him every day, pet him a lot and cover him with love. He's definitely a part of our family.

As a little girl, Sundays were always our family breakfast day. My sister, my mother, and I would spend a couple of hours in the morning making a huge breakfast from scratch for the whole family. We would have eggs, bacon, pancakes, hashbrowns. I would always cook the pancakes since I was the youngest and nobody else wanted to stand there over a hot pan.

I had a white toy poodle that I just loved to spoil rotten. Every Sunday, not wanting her to feel left out, I would make tiny half-dollar size pancakes and make a small plate with tiny doggy bite-sized portions of each thing for breakfast. No syrup of course. So, when we all sat down to eat, Tiny (yeah, that was her name) would have her own little saucer with three tiny pancakes stacked on top of each other, a small spoonful of hashbrowns, about a tenth of a fried egg and one quarter slice of bacon.

Of course I know better now about the danger of feeding dogs people food, but back then we didn't know any better. It never seemed to effect her health. She lived to be a ripe old age until breast cancer got to her.

My dog gets access to a tiny amount of "people" food, like pizza or soft tacos if he behaves. He was a rescue dog, and doesn't tolerate physical attention well, but if you feed him, he's happy.

I thinks you show your appreciation for your dog(s) by doing some steps!!!!!

1) Treat your dog as your family member.
2) Give him best dog food.
3) Every weekend gone with him for hios medical checkup.
4) And the important thing is that treat her like your children.

I didn't know today was National Dog Day! Coincidentally, Archie is at the vet for a minor procedure...But when he comes home...he is going to be spoiled rotten. (Whether he remembers it or not-I'm sure he'll pretty woozy.) I can't wait to go pick him up. I feel lost without my doggy by my side.

Your dog sees that you appreciate him when...
1. you spend time with him.
2. give him treats especially if he did something good.
3. you tell him that he's a good dog while patting his back.
4. brush his fur while you're both sitting on the sofa.
5. you regularly give him sumptuous meal.
