New South Bay Pets blog features coming
Watch the blog in coming days for a couple new features.
First off, we're launching a fixed photo gallery on the site that will let you e-mail your pet pics to be posed as part of the blog. We'll publish the details about how to participate shortly, but spread the word to your pet-owning friends -- we'd love to see all your dogs and cats -- and whatever other pets you have -- posted here. :-) You'll also be able to provide a paragraph of information to run with the photos. (Photos of deceased pets also can be included, if you'd like to remember a special dog or cat from your past.)
Secondly, we'll be posing a couple reader questions each week and we'd love to have your participation, interaction and owner expertise in answering and commenting. One will be on a specific topic each week (probably posted on Mondays) while the other will be more of an open thread that will invite you to share the latest news about your pets -- problems or challenges, issues you're facing, funny stories, successes. Your choice. Other readers also then are free to weigh in with advice or comments, if they want.
As for the topics of the specific-topic thread, send me your ideas. I have a few questions lined up but would love to hear from you the issues you'd like to talk about or see addressed.
Stay tuned for all the details to come later.
Meanwhile, here's the latest picture of Annie the cat. She's a bit pudgier than she was when I first brought her home last October. So she's now on a low-fat kibble diet. :-) This means that she is hungrier than usual and has taken to hunting, catching and munching on socks and other stray items she finds around the house.
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.
