With Portuguese Water dog Bo instated in his new White House home, no doubt we can all brace for a fresh doggy-breath scented gust of puppy fever.
This happily coincides with the resurgence of "doga," or dog yoga, a phenom covered in a recent NYT article. Here's how they describe it:
"Doga combines massage and meditation with gentle stretching for dogs and their human partners. In chaturanga, dogs sit with their front paws in the air while their human partners provide support. In an 'upward-paw pose,' or sun salutation, owners lift dogs onto their hind legs. In a resting pose, the person reclines, with legs slightly bent over the dog's torso, bolster-style, to relieve pressure on the spine."
Aw. Seems like the perfect stress reliever--dog cuddling plus downward-dogging. Maybe they'll let me borrow Bo to try it? Have you done doggy yoga? Love it, hate it, don't need to try it to think it's ridiculous?

Oh.
So this actually has nothing to do with the Obama's dog, like the headline says.
:-\
It is not to be a bad experience to give it a try.Why not,after all
dogs are cute,lovable.harmless creatures,all they do is kiss you or lick your body lovingly whenever they found you sleeping and you are
awaken of their different kind of kiss,licking you.I love dogs,they
are mans best friends.
Dogs do kiss you by licking you especially on your face,i have experience about caring for dogs ever since i was born,i have a dog that i take care of until he dies,of old age or by car accident.Then,my father or mother buy again another one.I have not
only cared for dogs or cats,i have also cared for pigs,i have become
a vet for my mom's pregnant pig,i had my mom pig delivered 8 baby
pigs,it was a fun experience!I remember i cut 8 umbilical cords and
became dentist too by cutting all the baby pigs teeth so they can
help their pig mom not get hurt if they were being breastfed!
That is my veterenary experience,not only with dog!!!Got me? GOOOODDD!!
Are dogs really that stressed that we need a special class to rub their bellys? I can do that for free at home. It seems that Doga is becoming a trend everywhere, though, even in the small cities and towns of the mid-west.

Why do people making fun of yoga is it because the name of yoga is so powerful so people use it to make money.
