Calling all Lobster Dogs
Yep, it's that time again.
San Pedro's 10th annual Lobster Festival kicks off this weekend, with the very popular LobsterDog Pet Parade at noon Saturday (Sept. 20) at Ports O' Call Village.
The parade features an array of dogs dressed up as a sea creatures or some kind of "seafood." Past contests have included dogs depicting everything from lobsters to sharks and mermaids.
Silly, but the grand prize is $500 in cash, making it worth your while to think about it.
Costumes must be original (not store-bought) and not repeats from past parades.
There's an entry fee of $15 per pet. Call 310-514-0338 for details. Proceeds go to Peninsula Dog Parks Inc., the group that sponsors it each year.

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.
