Post by Donnavila Marie01 »

Iam always amazed with the different personalities of animals. In the story, Kaily Kitten and Sammy Bunny are like humans. They experience rivalry, threat and doubt. They have emotions! If you were an animal, what would that be? I would prefer to be a dog because I am loyal as a dog.

Hmmm...good question. My answer to this one varies from time to time. Right now I would choose a dolphin. I love being in the water, and dolphins are such powerful, playful animals. They seem to always be having a good time! While the water is awe-inspiring, I would also like to come to the surface to interact with that world, too. Dolphins get the best of both worlds!

I think I'd be a cat. I'd sleep all day and eat and play when I want.

Hm...great question! I would love to be a dog! They are simple, happy, loving, loyal, and just so cuddly. :)

That's a tough question. I have always loved owls, and it would be nice to be an animal that could just fly off whenever it wants to. Owls are independent and enjoy the night, which is similar to me. Just about any bird would be very cool. I have recently thought about getting a bird, probably a cockatiel bird, but parakeets are cute too. Many are quite playful, but I have seen some that are just as sweet as can be too. My grandmother had one of these birds that was very protective. I like them because they can display a wide variety of personalities.

I love owls and sharks, so I'd have to say one of them (probably a shark would win by a little bit), though I'm not sure they fit my personality.

Another cool option would be a dinosaur. Is this an acceptable answer? :lol:

What is grief, if not love persevering?

I would say, yes! Since we are using our imaginations, extinct animals are absolutely acceptable. :D

I would definitely be a horse. I wouldn't want to be a pet horse, though. I don't want to be forced to give pony rides and generally serve humans. I would want to be a wild mustang, preferably on protected lands where I wouldn't get rounded up by the BLM and sold off for either use as a pet or killed.

I would be a cat too. The all day sleeping sounds good to me. Plus it would be fun to climb trees.

I would have to go with a dog. I've had dogs most of my life and they are always so happy and full of energy or at least my dogs always have been.

I am and because of being loyal to a fault, have been hurt a lot in life. Gradually, I am teaching myself to not be sooooo giving emotionally and be more careful. I am loving being by myself a lot nowadays and, becoz of which, am discovering so many creative things about myself. I would be any animal..... I see the same depth of innocence and non- judgment in each of them, domesticated or feral. If we humans just stop and gaze into ANY animals' eyes, we discover they speak only one thing- unconditional love. If only we humans can be that; even an iota, the world would be much peaceful.
Heartfelt gratitude for this question! Thank you?????????????
