Rappy Rother's Ray
I was driving to my parent's house last Mother's Day when I got this idea in my head that I needed to get a dog that minute.
So I stopped at a shelter, picked up a dog and brought him to her house. Boy was she mad at me! My sisters and other family members were there to celebrate Mother's Day and I showed up pulling a strange dog on a leash.
Mom has since grown to love Rocket more than she loves me, but then, he's pretty hard to resist.
Happy Mother's Day mom! I promise not to bring any new animals to your house this year.
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.
