No dog park days for now
I guess some folks have braved it, but we haven't been to the dog park in San Pedro since Saturday. Here's why:

Remember this home video from January?
We are still leash walking, however. Annie Oakley the cat is tough, she still enjoys going out when the rain periods are light. Cats, go figure.
It is actually a good time to wear those cute rain boots and show off your adorable dogs. Daily Breeze photographer Brad Graverson got this shot yesterday in Hermosa Beach:

So how are your dogs and cats holding up with the non-stop rain?
As always, we love to post your photos to share with our readers, so if you have some you want to send in -- Christmas, winter/holiday, rain themes -- feel free!

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(
Driving in to work today I spotted one of the dog park regulars walking out of the now even more flooded dog park with her very wet, muddy & bedraggled looking dogs, Snoop and Bella, a small long-haired breed. "They had a blast," the owner yelled as I rolled my window down to tell her how brave she was. I'm only sorry I didn't have time to stop and snap their photo. :-) They were quite the sight.
Indi, the bravest 80 pound dog in the world, has been holding her business and is not interested in stepping outside during the rain. Basically, I have to force her out of the house and walk over to the grass with her and tell her to go do her business. Then she reluctantly steps into the grass looks back at me like saying "do I really have do mommy?!"
