Pet calendars posed for big sales


For the animal lover on your Christmas gift list, how about a 2010 calendar that features pets.

The Houston Chronicle's Lana Berkowitz wrote an article about the Yoga Dogs calendar by Dan and Alejandra Borris of San Antonio that has pictures of pooches doing yoga poses.

Borris' wife is an animal lover and former yoga instructor who recruits dogs belonging to friends, neighbors and even strangers.

She positions the animals in yoga poses, or as close as the four-legged models can get, for the photos. Borris uses Photoshop to concoct the final images.

Don't worry, feline fanciers, this year there is a Yoga Cats calendar for those so inclined.

The article also lists a number of other pet-related calendars available online and at bookstores, including Ferret Frenzy 2010 World Tour, with ferrets visiting the pyramids and the Statue of Liberty; the New Yorker Dogs wall calendar and the Pets Rock wall calendar, with animals dressed as rock stars (of course!).
