1/30/2004: Dog yoga



Happy Friday - what we have here is "dog yoga".

full story

Since it's Friday, I'll note that the dog here is named "Montana" and is a French Bulldog.



And this one is named "Satchmo".

Begin mocking this at will. I don't think the dogs should be involved here. Clearly the dog will be unhappy about being turned upside down for no particular reason. He could get hurt. And Montana up there is being unwittingly put in a dog-dominant position. Keep that up, lady, and he'll be humping your leg in no time, and then sorry won't be enough.

But for the counter-argument, it's simple: include your dog in everything you do, even if it's silly... and both of you will be happier for it.

Heh, he...my wife would go for this in a big way, she always takes the dogs walking and they love being involved in any kind of play activity. But man give me a 12 pack and a lawn chair and I'd participate as well, looks like a hoot for the whole family.

Upside down dog

Of all the dogs I've owned over the years, only one minded being upside down. I've got one now (small guy thankefully) that likes to climb up next to me on the sofa and lay himself upside down in the crook of my arm.

Usually they're pretty good about letting you know when you're doing something they don't like. Anything else is attention and, at least as far as all dogs I've ever known, attention is GOOD!

Belly-up is one thing, but standing on the head?

If the dog really doesn't like it, it'll let the owners know.

Well, if you're going to include your dog in your activities, it's better than dribbling him and tossing him through the basket.

Just for the record...

my pit bull does NOT like to be turned ass over teakettle.

He thinks of this as aggression and responds accordingly.

If you guys have pets who don't understand the concept of the alpha male, or don't have the respect from them to be accorded to you as such, then I pity you.
