A letter writer complained to me that this blog is too dogcentric. Her actual words were far more dismissive, but I got the point. 

Well, I'd like to inform Miss Busybody that South Bay Pets is now the third most popular site in the entire Internet, a fact I just now made up. In truth, we only have three readers -- two shut-ins and my sister.

But alert readers will know that in addition to owning the Loudest Dog in the South Bay, I also own the Most Obnoxious Cat in the South Bay. Riff, as I mentioned once before, has a map of Idaho on his chin.

More about him later, but there are other mammals to write about.

For instance, this Saturday, there's going to be a horse ride in Rolling Hills Estates.

I forget that that while most of us are busy facing traffic on Lomita Boulevard or 190th Street , there is a vibrant horse community here on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Just today, I was driving along Palos Verdes Drive North and I saw a man wearing an actual cowboy hat. And he wasn't wearing it ironically or anything.

But as for this Saturday's thingy, this is an e-mail I got,

The best part of all is they're serving pancakes!


Equestrians are invited to join us for the annual Mayor's Breakfast Ride, which will be held on Saturday, May 10.

The one-hour ride begins at at 8 a.m. at Chandler Park, just west of City Hall at Censhaw Boulevard and Palos Verdes drive North. 

The event ends at the Scout Pancake Breakfast in Ernie Howlett Park. 

Scout Parents, Inc. sponsors the annual Pancake Breakfast to benefit local scouting programs. Pancakes, eggs, sausage, coffee, juice, and milk will be served in Howlett Park from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

About the Bloggers

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
