Darling Doggies' Yoga Classes at a hotel in Edinburgh, Scotland

I just received this email. It's so good I don't need to change a word of it. I only need to add that Edinburgh is one of my favourite festival cities. If you don't have a dog, just go to Edinburgh for the end of summer and start of autumn Edinburgh Festival which is like one big street festival. Anyway, here's something for the dog. Have you seen that video on YouTube (it reached me on Facebook) of the dog doing stretches alongside the owner. Amusing and touching.
