Saddle up: Cowboy Days come to Rolling Hills Estates
Cowboy Days kick off Friday and runs through Sunday (Oct. 16-18) at the Empty Saddle
Club in Rolling Hills Estates.
Held every year since 1992, the event honors the "old cowboy ways" with celebrations and competitions in such evetns as team roping.
Sounds like great fun. My dog Cowboy really wants to go. So do Tess and Annie Oakley.
The Empty Saddle Club began in 1935 when five horsemen from Redondo Beach decided they'd organize as a group to participate i nlocal parades and other civic functions.

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.

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.
