Winter pics: Chula meets Santa at the Carson mall

winter bells.jpegNo other information was included with this photo submitted by a reader.

But perhaps none is needed.

Is it me, or does Santa look a little grumpy here? Maybe he was just tired.

Winter pics: The Christmas Lizard

winter bells.jpegI spotted this lizard sitting next to me on the arm of my sofa Sunday night. Clearly another early Christmas gift from Annie the cat, that clever and generous feline. 

Even though he's not really a "pet," I thought he looked picturesque enough on the red Christmas furniture throws (he being more or less green), that he might fit in as one of our featured photographed winter pets for the season. 

I know. I should have put a pair of antlers on his head  --  or dressed him in a little Christmas sweater. A tiny jingle-bell collar, perhaps? A Santa hat? Something. Oh well. I suppose this way he keeps his primitive, reptilian dignity.

He looked like he was almost enjoying "Miracle on 34th Street" which was on television at the time. But I decided it was time for Annie's guest to leave. He would have to miss the end of the movie.

I picked him up (neither of us enjoyed that very much) and set him loose outside, putting him on the front porch railing.

He immediately leaped into the bushes below, vanishing in a departure that couldn't come soon enough for him, apparently. I just hope it wasn't a suicide attempt.

I made sure Annie was shut inside so she wouldn't just resume her pursuit (not right away, anyhow; we may see him again, though, knowing my cat).

Aren't lizards supposed to be hibernating this time of year?  

Maybe he is a special Christmas lizard after all.


Winter pics: Oscar of San Pedro

winter bells.jpegThis is Oscar. And I'll confess, these pictures immediately made me laugh.

winter oscar 1.JPGFrom his owner, Stacey:

Thankfully, Oscar just frowns for a couple of minutes before he takes off the hats. But treats help him to sit still a few minutes longer while I snap a few more pictures.

I adopted Oscar from Beagles n Buddies in March 2009. He is possibly a Basset/Terrier/Shar-Pei mix. He's about 6 years old. Oscar is a very loving dog and I am very lucky to have found him. Then again, he is pretty lucky. In his first year and a half with me, we went on three vacations. He does well in the car and when we're out and about. Even some shop owners have let him inside the stores while I browse.

Winter pics: Desilu and Carmen of Long Beach

These girls, it seems, are quite accustomed to having their photos taken so snapping this pose was no problem for our Daily Breeze colleague Sandy Gerety, their owner.

Desilu on the left and Carmen on the right were pretty good sports for posing in their new Santa hats. They are also the proud new owners of a Santa squeak toy.
Hats and toy courtesy of Sandy's daughter, Rachel Jazina, co-owner of the Chihuahuas.

Winter pics: Brody of Redondo Beach

winter bells.jpegWheeee! We have our first (non-employee) reader submission in the annual winter pet pictures extravaganza. See our earlier post for details.

This comes from Christina who says it took her 20 minutes to get this shot (I feel your pain) of Brody, a Redondo Beach Chihuahua sporting what looks like a hand-knitted (?) reindeer outfit.

Very nice!

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.
