Sherman then, now
One of the dogs beloning to the Crazy Dog Lady of Torrance, aka my sister, turns 1 today. Sherman, as some of you may recall humiliated, my dog by taking first place in an obedience class we took together (Rocket came in last place.)
It's amazing how much dogs grow in a single year. They go from bouncy puppies, to, bouncy grown-up things.
In another year, he'll be all mature and doglike.
Well, it's nice to see one of his ears is still floppy. I'm a sucker for floppy ears on a dog. Happy birthday, dog!

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.

The funny thing is, both his ears are normally up. Maybe he was trying to recapture his puppy-ness. But you're right, floppy ears are cuter.
What a cutie. Happy (belated) Birthday Sherman!
