The animals I work with
Lisa Hirschmann is the newest writer in the stable of Daily Breeze reporters. I use the word "stable" only because this is a blog about animals, not because I think of reporters as being a bunch of, oh, say, jackasses.
As both of this blog's longtime readers know, I always try to post pictures of our staff's pets. Lisa has a shih tzu named Lulu. (Say that five times really fast)
Here are a couple of pix of the fuzzy puppy. Looks like Lulu is in need of a belly rub. I'm not sure what Lulu is cuddling in the bottom pic. Could it be a platypus?



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(
They are a heck of a lot cutter than the animals I work with!
