We have geese. My husband thinks my spirit animal would be an angry goose. This is because one of our geese became very angry when we chased it around our paddock with scissors to trim its flight feathers. Can’t imagine why it was annoyed really😀?

Mine has to be a sloth. Smile

Daubergine · 17/03/2019 02:24

I think I'm a dog. Specifically an over friendly labrador.

Tinkerbell456 · 17/03/2019 02:26

Being a sloth would be great! In fairness daubergine, I have yet to encounter a standoffish or aloof lab. Cats now....

Or a chihuahua online. I have a lot to say for myself. Think I'm a big dawg. Run crying though when the pack of wolves attack (or the sheep start saying Baaaaaaaaaaa in unison, depending on how you look at it).

Ye, I'm a labrador that hasn't been trained well lol. I'll lick you and not realise that you secretly wish to stab me.

Daubergine · 17/03/2019 02:30

I think introverted people are a bit like cats. Although I suspect a flock of incensed geese is about to descend on me for that statement!
I'd quite like to be a goose. Geese are scary.

I’m going for meerkat, I observe and seem cute, but run away and hide!

Parly · 17/03/2019 02:32

These two are mine :)

Parly · 17/03/2019 02:34

Oh didn't upload pics sorry.

Daubergine · 17/03/2019 02:37

Karbones, an ex colleague once asked me whether I was doing a meerkat impression when I popped up from behind my desk to announce something to the team (clearly something that couldn't have been emailed........ in my head anyway). I still laugh when I think about it, because I was so engrossed, I must have looked exactly like a meerkat sticking my head above the parapet all of a sudden. Grin

Tinkerbell456 · 17/03/2019 02:38

Oh yes, a Parlydog! Looks sweet😀!

Parly, they're beautiful. I'd love to be a border collie, alas, I'm too dumb.

Daubergine · 17/03/2019 02:44

When I was younger, my teenage friends and I had a discussion about what animals we resembled physically. I'm a chipmunk apparently (I have chubby cheeks).

Tinkerbell456 · 17/03/2019 03:02

I apparently resemble a Meerkat on occasion😛 Not sure how to feel about this!

A cat. I can be v lazy but also v active depending on mood and time of day. Curious and highly independent. Stand offish but love being stroked and fussed over (on my terms of course Grin). Find patches of sunlight and like to bask in them!

A fat riding school mare that bites the children and pins her ears back at every request, but occasionally puts in a brilliant gymkhana performance: just enough to keep everyone onside and avoid the knackerman Grin

Tattybear16 · 17/03/2019 03:17

A sweary parrot with lots of colourful feathers and a vocabulary to match.

I’d like to say a cat - independent, intelligent, fond of naps - but I suspect I’m probably more like a bee, endless busying around doing work for the benefit of others Grin

SleepingSloth · 17/03/2019 04:17

Definitely a sloth. Wink

BlackPrism · 17/03/2019 04:18

I would like to say wolf as I've been obsessed since childhood but ... more of a seal. Love food, like chilling with friends... shit sense of danger.

Well you certainly have the confidence of a cat! Grin

steff13 · 17/03/2019 04:26

Manatee. We're both calm, quiet, we like lettuce.

Daubergine · 17/03/2019 04:29

I'm on a dating website and my introductory line is 'I'm a wolf who wants to be a sheep'.

I unfortunately stand out from the flock, am largely misunderstood, but really just want to be friends with everyone. The sheep are scared of me however! And they are not shy about baaaaing about it either! I try very desperately to fit in, (refer to labrador references above), but nobody appreciates my affection!
So I slink off up the mountain to my cave and feel a little bit sad at night, watching the sheep down in the pastures.

I suppose I'm a mongrel. A cross between wolf/labrador and chihuahua. Who wants to be a simple sheep. Sad
