Darling Doggy Drenched
Dog rescued from icy waters in Massachusetts
Two Massachusetts firefighters have made the holiday week brighter by their heroism in the face of the icy Charles River
When a Massachusetts fire department took a 911 call from a frantic dog owner, officers went into action to rescue Crosby.
The five year old Golden Retriever, had run out onto the ice and suddenly found herself deep in the freezing water about 50 yards off shore.
Two firefighters suited up in cold water survival gear and inched their way out onto the ice until they broke through to reach Crosby.
Firefighter Paul Papazian was able to rescue Crosby and guide her back to shore.
Once on shore Crosby was checked out and swiftly walked to a waiting, warm squad car and a dry towel.
She was a little cold and shaken, but seemed to survive the ordeal as best as could be expected.
Shortly thereafter, Crosby was re-united with her owners.

Hmmm…
Someone called 911.
Their dog was not having fun;
She fell into cold water,
Wishing it were much hotter,
Could something heroic be done?
They sent in a great rescue team,
While the owner probably screamed;
They went into the river,
While Crosby did shiver,
To onlookers it looked like a dream.
Onto the shore they arrived,
Crosby was still quite alive;
Wrapped up real tight,
Shivering from fright,
They’re happy that she did survive.
A lesson is here for us all,
Keep dogs leashed so they cannot fall,
Thru cold winter ice,
That wouldn’t be nice,
It’s something that would make us bawl.

Humorous Interludes by Ron Yarosh 
Darling Doggie Does Doga?
Doga: how yoga can be good for dogs too.
A man tries to relax his excitable Chihuahua by teaching it yoga – and it copies him as he performs the poses
Many dog owners enjoy exercising with their pet – whether that is going for a walk, a run or riding a bike alongside their dog.
However, Nic Bello is looking to do something a little bit more relaxing and has been teaching his dog Pancho to do yoga.
Apparently this is a real thing – called “Doga”. As Chihuahuas are notoriously yappy and excitable dogs, I hope that all that stretching and breathing can help the little creature relax.
The pair have now released a series of dog yoga videos together, with this showing some more complex yoga moves:

Hmmm…
A man gets his dog to do yoga,
He calls the routines his new “Doga”;
He stretches his body,
Without being haughty,
He’d really look good in a toga.
They do all the routines together,
In any and all kinds of weather;
They bend and they stretch,
It helps Poncho to fetch,
The dog is as light as a feather.
Chihuahuas are usually yappy,
Perhaps cause they’re always quite happy;
When you get such a pet,
It’s excitement you get,
It’s true; I’m not just being sappy.
They’re making a new video,
Doga’s the name of the show;
It’s something to buy,
For your dog to try,
It might help; you never know.
