Doggy yoga at a time like this?

Only in L.A...

Check out this Bloomberg story on L.A. residents who are still spending dough on massages, yoga classes, and - get this - prosthetic testicles for their pets, despite the recession.

I mean, hey, if you got the cheese, I guess you can spend it however you want.

But the piece brings up the significant point that while these pet owners are spending boatloads of money on their pets, the number of homeless animals in shelters nationwide is on the rise.

I feel if you have $100 to spend to get your cat's nails clipped, then why not make a donation to a local shelter?

That could go a long way...
