Dog Yoga. DOG. YOGA.

Ok, let me start out by saying I am pro-dog. Ok? I've had dogs my whole life and they've been some of my best friends. My house is currently occupied by a dog and several metric tonnes of his hair.

But this... this is just ridiculous. People are out there starving in the streets and people are paying good money, the same money that can be used to purchase important things like beer, and spending it on dog yoga.

Listen, I know Sparky is a bright shiny little soul and you love him and want him to be happy. I get that. But Sparky does not need limbering up. Sparky does not need to have his chakras aligned, and even if he did I guarantee you don't know where he keeps them.

In short, Sparky has as much use for yoga as you have for a Kong full of peanut butter. Which is to say none.

Get a cat

Cats do their own yoga at no cost or encouragement from their owner. Ours do stretches and weird contortions several times daily. They will also lie on your feet in cold weather and keep them warm.

If you need a dog as a watch dog, just buy a couple of those confounded Santa things that start saying HO, Ho, Ho and then sings Merry Christmas for an eternity when somebody walks by.

A potential thief will know that the homeowner is a real nutcase, probably armed and would probably not have anything of value anyway.

Dogs are for people that have space to let them run and roam without dragging their owners behind them as nature intended.

If I was standing over my dog and trying to get him into this crazy position, I'd work up such frustation between the both of us, that we'd both need a valium afterwards. I need this lady to come and work with my dog. By the end she'd either hate my dog and yoga or my dog would hate her and still would be wondering what the heck was wrong with humans. Heck, we can't even get my dog to remember that her potty is outside half the time and she's 9 yrs old. This would be one of those moments when the dogs look at us and we know exactly what they are thinking: "What is wrong with humans? They're supposed to be the intelligent ones!"

Too funny.

Don't think yoga is what doggie had on mind. Since we're a family read blog I've decided to censor myself and not comment.
