Fur and Feathers

What is your favorite animal?

Of the domesticated variety, I’d have to say dogs. Undomesticated? Probably one of the big cats, maybe the cheetah. Their speed and maneuverability are stunning, and they’ve always seemed somewhat refined to me.

Birds are fascinating, as well. Floating on the thermals, getting, well, a bird’s eye view of everything. I’ve always been a bit envious.

What is your favorite animal?

Someone else’s dog. There’s a part of me that would love to have a friendly pooch around, but we’ve gotten used to coming and going without having the worry of finding a kennel or paying for food and vet care.

In the animal kingdom writ large, I’d have to say just about any bird. Flying of course comes naturally to them, but my landbound soul is envious. I often find myself wondering what it would be like to join them, whenever I see one riding the thermals or just moving from tree to tree.
