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.

Congratulations, Donna, on setting up Annie's fun tree. Those plans are impressive! My two rescue cats would be jealous -- as our high stool next to the window is no match for Annie's tree. I look forward to hearing more about Annie's new perch.
Great job...it looks like Annie is already enjoying her new home within a home.
Thanks both -- I decided to get the tree because of the 2 border collies. Moving her into a home with two dogs who were unaccustomed to cats, I felt like Annie should have an easy way of escape (and refuge) in the main living room in case the dogs were pestering her. An added benefit was that it's put together with scratching posts, thereby (hopefully) helping to spare my own furniture from becoming an object of her scratching. We probably could have lived without it, the dogs seem to be adjusting to her fairly well. But Annie certainly does seem to enjoy her personal high perch. When I came home from church this afternoon, she was curled up inside the little cubby hole on the top. (And BTW, because she matches Tess so well with her black-and-white coat, Annie's nickname now is "Border Kitty.")
