Get some oven baked clay, cookie cutters and have some fun.  I got these doggie cookie cutters at the grocery store actually.  Follow baking instructions.  The one I used was 15 minutes for every 1/25 inch 275 degrees in my oven. This took around 1 hour or so.  You'll know when it doesn't feel rubbery.  Let cool and paint, seal with a clear lacquer spray or other type clear sealer and you have a really cute doggie gift for that dog lover.  You can use other cookie cutters and come up with many ideas.
