Dog Masters Upward Facing Dog

Though it is one of the most widely known and oft-used yoga posts, Upward Facing Dog is, ironically, extremely difficult for canines to perform. That’s why a local dog named Rusty was so psyched when he finally mastered the pose over the weekend.

“He’s been coming to my class for about five months,” said yoga instructor Katrina Light. “So far he had only been able to perfect child’s pose and, oddly enough, the cat pose. Both of the dogs, downward and upward, were giving him trouble.”

That all changed on Saturday, when Rusty busted out Upward Facing Dog and held it for three minutes.

“We were all really proud. I guess he’s been practicing at home,” said Light.

Area Dog Spends Quiet Sunday at Home

Now that Milton the dog is a little older, he prefers to spend his Sundays just relaxing at home.

“When he was a puppy, he’d run around like a nut all weekend,” says Mariella Baez, a source close to the situation. “But now that he’s grown up, that just doesn’t appeal to Milt. He likes a little peace and quiet on Sunday.”

Milton plans to spend the morning napping in the kitchen – it gets the best sun – before catching up on his Petflix queue in the afternoon.

Dog Family Takes Up Residence in Dresser

According to multiple reports, a family of shih tzu puppies has taken up residence in the guest bedroom dresser. The property been vacant since the previous tenants, a pair of cats, moved down the hall to the bathroom linen closet last year.

“It’s great to see a family move into the dresser,” said real estate agent Candy Hirschman. “It’s in a really great section of the upstairs, so hopefully this with breathe some new life into it and quicken some of the redevelopment efforts over there.”

According to Hirschman, there are plans for a new built-in bookshelf across the hall from the guest bedroom, and new sliding doors will be put on the closet in May. Both of those projects are expected to improve foot traffic to the area, which should a boon to second-floor businesses.

Puppy Masters High-Fives

It was a long time coming, but Luke the puppy has finally figured out the high five. 

“For months he was just flailing his little paws about,” reports Tony Montazzo, a source close to the situation. “But then last night about eight o’clock he just put it all together. Now he’s a high-fiving machine.”

According to Montazzo, Luke literally won’t stop – he high-fives everyone he sees. 

“He’s probably doled out about twenty paw slaps since last night,” said Montazzo. “I keep telling him not to do it so much. It’ll lose significance. But, he’s excited. He learned a new trick and it’s hard to contain him.”

Boston Terrier to Hold Open Office Hours

Cookie, a Boston Terrier from Waterloo, Canada, has announced that she will hold open office hours every Friday from 11am until 3pm.

“This a good way for Cookie to get to know her employees better,” said Margaret Weiss, who has worked for the dog for three years. “As the company has grown, it has been harder for Cookie to get to know all the new hires. This a way to make sure that good ideas can get heard and that everyone feels included at the company.”
