How I spent my New Year's Eve
I gave the dog four tranquilizers, but he still mananaged to leap through the kitchen window at the sound of fireworks. (actually, given where I live, it was probably guns making all that noise).
He didn't run away though, so I consider it a successful start to the new year.
Next year, five tranquilizers.

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.

Funny you should talk about guns, on our way back home from a party I was praying that a bullet would not find its way to our car. When we got home there were two cop cars parked two doors down to the right and there was someone who was yelling, presumably from inside one of the cop cars, "burn," "burn," "burn." Then at 2am an ambulance pulled in front of a house across street on the left.
