How long has it been since you spent the day at Sea World? The shows change periodically and you must see the latest shows. I was treated to a very special day today at Sea World by my daughter. We had a wonderful day together. We saw all the shows and I really enjoyed them. The show I want to talk about is the fabulous dog and cat show. There were simply dozens of dogs of all sizes and breeds. These dogs were purchased not by private breeders but at the Humane Society. These animals that end up in the Humane Society are homeless and unwanted for whatever reason. Sometimes their owners need to move out of the state or out of their home into an apartment and they cant take their precious dogs or cats with them. The trainers made a statement about all of the fabulous animals in the show and asked the audience to purchase their next pet at the Humane Society. Not only were their dogs but cats. The cats are what really blew my mind. To my astonishment these cats were trained to perform simple tricks and to follow simple directions. I ask you have you ever heard of a cat following directions and doing simple tricks? I was completely blown away by this achievement. The dogs and cats interacted with the trainers in various tricks that were absolutely adorable. At the start of the show the dogs and cats were running and jumping into all kinds of props. At the end of the show they did the same thing but with a creative variation. If you are an animal lover this is a must see show at Sea World. I left the best for last. They even had a pig as part of the show and the pig literally stole the show. This pig was also trained to do simple tricks and to follow directions. There were a smidgen of ducks and they even let loose a bunch of various birds that flew in all directions. The adult children and the little children clapped and laughed and had a great time. At the end of the performance you were even invited to meet the animals. All the shows at Sea World were outstanding. So if you are looking to spend a precious family day together go to Sea World. I hope you enjoyed my article. Please feel free to read my other articles. Copyright 2006 Linda Meckler |
