Haute Dogs in Long Beach brings out dogs, cats -- and more

By Donna Littlejohn on October 2, 2010 7:30 PM | | Comments (0) |

There were lizards and birds and a pig and an iguana and an albino python and a sloth and a porcupine and three rats named Diamond, Amethyst and Sapphire. 

Today's annual Blessing of the Animals at Marine Stadium was a study in the colorful and amazing variety of creation. I'd been invited to serve as one of the judges for the day's contests (cutest/ugliest dog, Chihuahua beauty contest, dog photos and "mutts") so I spent the day enjoying the wild scenery. 

Here are some photos of the day's events. You can see more at Justin Rudd's Haute Dogs website. Our sister paper the Press-Telegram also has posted a photo gallery of today's event. And here's reporter Pamela Hale-Burns' accompanying story. 

Here are some of the photos I took:

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.
