Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss... A Fellow Animal Lover from La Jolla!

Comment  

Famous American writer and cartoonist Theodore Seuss Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, would have celebrated his 107th birthday today!

What does this have to do with DogZenergy? Quite a bit actually. Dr. Seuss not only lived in our neighborhood, but he was a devoted animal lover just like us!

Although originally from Massachusetts, Dr. Seuss moved to La Jolla after World War II and lived in San Diego county until his death in September of 1991. The UCSD library was named the Geisel Library in his honor.

During his time in California, almost all his works featured animals as main characters or trusty side-kicks. Horton the devoted elephant in Horton Hatches and Egg. The endearingly mischievous feline in The Cat in the Hat. The loyal pooch Max in How The Grinch Stole Christmas. The menagerie of real and imaginary creatures in If I Ran the Zoo. The aquatic cuties in One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. It's clear how much Dr. Seuss loved animals. He celebrated their unique characteristics and showed how animals can bring out the best in us.

Thanks for the lesson, Dr. Seuss. And Happy Birthday!

2009 La Jolla Christmas Parade with the Golden Retriever Meetup Group of San Diego

Comment  
Tis the season to celebrate with our loved ones, including our furry family members! To get into the Christmas spirit, Matt, Daisy, Taj, Bindi, Jazz and I all participated in the 2009 La Jolla Christmas parade. We walked with 60 other golden retrievers and we brought lots of smiles to the families that lined the sidewalks with our happy dogs and their crazy costumes! It was so cute to see all of the goldens walk together and wag their tails in a frenzy of golden happiness. There were puppies of all ages and old dogs that have been around the block or two. Everyone was beaming from ear to ear and sharing stories about their beloved canines. Daisy, Taj, Bindi and Jazz were a little startled by the marching bands, but loved all of the horses and kids! They got so much love from everyone and they were so tired and happy by the end of the day. It was truly a wonderful way to spend the afternoon! Check out the dogzenergy channel on youtube for videos!
