santa claus: November 2008 Archives
Round up those critters. Santa's coming to town -- and several local malls and shopping
centers are setting aside times for pet photos with Santa. (Check out
our earlier post about one of the malls.)
So Hark! Here's the scoop:
- South Bay Galleria at 1815 Hawthorne Blvd. (at Artesia) in Redondo Beach: 7 to 8 p.m. Mondays, Nov. 24, Dec. 1, Dec. 8; 8-9 p.m. Dec. 15. (310-371-7546)
- Del Amo Fashion Center at Hawthorne Boulevard and Carson Street: 6 to 9 p.m. Dec. 14 (a Sunday). Bring your dog or cat through the Mall 11 entrance just outside the security office. (310-542-8525)
- South Bay Pavilion at 20700 Avalon Blvd., Carson: 6 to 9 p.m. Mondays, Dec. 1, 8 and 15 (dogs and cats only). (310-366-6636)
- Manhattan Village at 3200 N. Sepulveda Blvd., Manhattan Beach: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 28 (the Friday after Thanksgiving); near the center court. (310-426-6313)
Your dog may not thank you. Neither will Santa.
But you'll enjoy watching it all happen.

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.

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.
