tripod: January 2010 Archives
We've posted about Tripod before -- the three-legged dog rescued as a pup by Herb and Arlene Zimmer of San Pedro.
I heard from Arlene today explaining that they were surprised to see Lilla, who belongs to their good friends in Sydney, Australia, and was featured as the "South Bay Pet of the Week" on the Daily Breeze's South Bay Pet Talk page a few weeks back (with a special mention of Tripod in the article, by the way).
The Zimmers, of course, showed the article about their friends' 11-year-old West Highland Terrier to Tripod:
"Tripod really enjoyed seeing Lilla's picture, but she had a hard time reading the article, even after we enlarged it for her," Arlene wrote. "Dad (that would be Herb) had to read it to her."
You can meet the charming Tripod in person by stopping by Priority One Printing, 350 W. Fifth St., San Pedro, where she accompanies Priority owner Herb to work every day and has long been the shop mascot.
And check out the Pet Talk page that runs each Tuesday on the back of the A section in the Daily Breeze. You can submit photos and a short blurb of your pet to be selected as Pet of the Week. Mail it to the Daily Breeze, South Bay Tower, Attn. South Bay Pet Talk, 21250 Hawthorne Blvd., Suite 170, Torrance, CA 90503 -- or simply email it to phillip.lawrence@dailybreeze.com.
You can also sign up (see page link below) to receive periodic email updates, including coupons, that are of interest to South Bay pet owners, as well as sign up for feeds to the South Bay Pets blog so you don't miss any of our posts.

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.
