South Bay Best in Show: Mochi and Jolie, Valentine adorables
What a perfect pair to feature on Valentine's Day.
These two are adorable. I've been dealing with a pinched nerve over the last couple days and not feeling my best. But when I opened the photos of these guys, I couldn't help but smile and forget my pain.
Owner Maggie describes them both as "beautiful and sweet."
First, Mochi (in the photo above and the two below):
Breed: Maltese
Name: Mochi (She was so tiny, white and soft when I first met her. She reminded me of these white, chewy, sweet Japanese mochi.)
Where did you find your best friend: I got her from a breeder
Personality: She is just the sweetest little angel. And she loves to pose for pictures! (yes, we can see that)
Favorite things to do with your dog: Everything.
Here's Jolie:
Breed: Maltipoo
Name: Jolie (I adopted her and she came with this lovely name)
Where did you find your best friend: I adopted her from a rescue group
Personality: She loves cuddling. You can hold her like a baby and she will fall into sleep.
Favorite things to do with your dog: Everything



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.

Ah, Love! Sweet babies! Thanks for the pics. Just what I needed today.
