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.

Happy Anniversary
Thanks Gail, And thanks for all the work the Peter Zippi Fund does (I'd never even heard of you guys before!). Annie's been such a delight, a true comic and so openly loving. None of our cats when I was growing up were like her (not that I didn't love them all, I did). She's so, well, "dog-like." :-) She even meows (loudly) for me as I drive up after coming home from work. My neighbor told me she can hear her meowing moments before I actually get there, so she must hear the car coming down the street. On the other hand, the dogs never bark when I come home. Hmm. So maybe they're more "cat-like," I don't know. A confused household we are, but happy.
Donna, kudos to you for saving this sweet kitty's life and giving her such a wonderful and loving home. We always enjoy hearing of Annie's adventures and how well she is doing.
I *like* this!
Aw, thanks Dolly. I had no idea what I was doing in the beginning -- Shirley had to give me a list of items to buy before I even picked Annie up at the shelter. I grew up with cats, but have never owned one so it was a learning experience. How nice it's been to have a cat around the house -- and Annie is SO affectionate and funny. She's a gem. A perfect match, as it turned out after all! Thanks again.
I cannot believe it's been a year. Annie looks GREAT and i am so glad it all worked out. Your a GREAT animal MOM. And i am honored to be part of this very happy adoption.
