The animals I work with
Posting pictures of your co-workers' pets is a great way to become the most popular guy in the office -- with pet owners anyway. Everybody else still hates my guts.
Today's entry comes courtesy of reporter Kristin Agostoni. Her dog is named Pembleton, a name she explains in her dog's bio below. In the picture, Pembleton -- or Pemby as he's affectionatey called -- is the one with the big smile on his face. The mopey looking dog is a freind of his.
Pembleton Agostoni shops with his best beagle buddy, Strummer Noel Clarke, at the Petco in El Segundo.
Pembleton is a plucky 4-year-old Boston terrier rescue. Named for crack Detective Frank Pembleton (Andre Braugher) on the former TV series, "Homicide: Life on the Street," he has a nose for venison treats and an eye for spotting squirrels. When he's not out on walks around Marina del Rey, Pembleton prefers the dog parks at Playa Vista and El Segundo. And he can always be spotted in a red collar, because his mom thinks that works best with his black and white tux.
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.

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.
