Countdown to Oct. 1
The deadline is less than a week away for Los Angeles pet owners to comply with a new city law that requires most dogs and cats to be spayed or neutered by the time they are 4 months old. Deadline = Oct. 1.
Exemptions include animals who compete in shows or sporting competitions, dogs in the process of earning agility, carting, herding, protection, rally, hunting, working or other titles; gude, signal or service dogs; law enforcement dogs; and animals for which there are valid breeding permits.
Information on the new law can be found at city's Web site.

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.
