Doga. Would you pay for this?

$15 to $25 for a doga class (that's yoga with your dog)? A recent article in the New York Times shed some light on this new fad that involves meditating and stretching with your dog. Basically you use your dog as an extra weight to improve stretches.

Balki would probably be willing to partake in some doga, if he just completed the Boston Marathon route and had been administered the proper sedatives. The New York Times seems to think this is newsworthy but I'm thinking it's a bust.

All rise for...."Bo" Obama

"Bo" the six-month old Portuguese water dog is in house, the White House. He is a gift from Senator Ted Kennedy and his wife to Sasha and Malia Obama. Here's a photo and some more official info on the Obama family addition. I feel bad for whoever is in charge of clean-up and furniture repair!

Pawsh's Spring Open dogHouse was a big success!


That's Pretzel the Dachsund. His parents were the lucky winners of the raffle for two tickets to Fenway for a Yankees vs. Red Sox game! Thanks to everyone for taking part in all the activities last night...as a result of your generosity we were able to raise $250 for the Animal Rescue League of Boston.

The event was featured on the Channel 7 news last night at 10PM and this morning at 5AM. Whether your lucky dog had a photo taken, a paw read or a back massaged, it was all for a great cause and definitely a night to remember. Balki is still sleeping this one off!

Here's a BLOG POST by Li, the photographer at the event, featuring amazing shots of some very photogenic pups.
