The soon-to-be best dog in the South Bay
Regular readers of this blog (both of you) know all about my dog, Rocket.
He's the loudmouth hounddog, who has eaten through my furnuture, chewed a hole through my mattress, run away, harassed my cats and annoyed my neighbors with his constant howling.
But Rocket is almost 2 now and it's time for him to start acting his age. On Saturday, he's starting school. Actually, the first day is for owners only; dogs don't get to attend until the second week (it's a seven-week course).
I'll let you know what I learn and the challenges I face. But even money says the little hellion gets kicked out of school for barking too loud.
And just because I think it's so cute, here's the picture of him I posted the other day. I took it right after he ate the couch, the pieces of which are scattered on the floor around him.
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.
