That would be Cowboy.

He's had a history of "counter surfing" in the kitchen (grab-and-run thefts of some raw meat and a cake just out of the oven were among his priors). So I really have no excuse. I should have known better than to leave a loaf of bread on the kitchen counter. 

Yesterday while I was out with friends for lunch, he nabbed an entire loaf of just-purchased sourdough bread (minus 1 slice that I'd eaten Friday) and made off with it through the doggie door (or so the evidence would indicate). I didn't notice the bread was missing from the counter until this morning, when I decided to make some toast. 

The remains -- the empty wrapper found ripped and tattered -- were retrieved today from the backyard:

I hope he at least shared some of it with Tess.

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.
