Howl for Halloween with the Lomita Obedience Training Club
One advantage to being in a dog obedience class is that you get all the latest announcements of doggie events that are going on in the local area (Tess and I are currently going through Barbara Millman's beginning obedience class at Kritter Korral in Harbor City).
At 6:30 p.m. Thursday (Oct. 22), the Lomita Obedience Training Club will host Halloween festivities for dogs and their owners.
It happens at Lomita Park, 24428 Eshelman Ave., Lomita.
The party will include fun games such as bobbing for hot dogs (your dog will have to be pretty good in order to beat Barbara's star sheltie, Perry, who, I'm told, excells in that particular competition).
Costumes optional.
The nonprofit club was founded in 1954 (originally called the San pedro Obedience Training Club) and meets on the fourth Thursday of the month at the Lomita Park (normal meeting times are 7:30 p.m.). Check them out sometime, guests and visitors are always welcome and the club offers a full array of training classes for all ability levels and interests.

About the Bloggers
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.
