Best friends (or enemies)?
We had something of a class reunion today at the dog park. Rocket and Godzilla Riley, his nemesis friend from dog school (Riley came in third, and Rocket came in fourth, a fact that Riley's owner, Kathy Jo reminds me about constantly. And yes, there were only four dogs that graduated).
Riley was smaller than Rocket until about three months ago. but as you can see from this picture, he's now the size of an elephant. And he's still growing.
Here they are fighting mugging for the camera.
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.
