The Best of “It’s Just Life”

2 Comments/ 63/ 2

Another day of the best of It’s Just Life is coming your way.

Today’s post is another fun one that I wrote several years ago.  Its title is homage to Dr. Seuss and I outline what “I” would do if I ran the zoo.

I would love to hear what YOU would do if you ran the zoo.  Let me know in the comments – I would love to read what you would do.


One of my favorite Dr. Seuss books is entitled “If I Ran the Zoo”.  In the book the story goes something like this.   Young Gerald McGrew visits a zoo and while he is there he finds that the animals that are living there are just not quite exotic enough.  He thinks that “if he ran the zoo” he would do it a bit differently and have animals that were indeed rare even if they were imaginary. As the book goes on, in true Dr. Seuss style, the animals that young McGrew envisions get crazier and crazier with the illustrations depicting creations that only existed in the mind of Dr. Seuss himself.

    If I ran the zoo, seriously, my focus would be on maintaining more interesting animal-friendly habitats. Maybe nest/den cameras would allow customers to feel that they’d seen animals while giving the animals some peace.
