I'd love to be able to fly like a seagull, to have the freedom of their strong wings and to soar through the air. They are equally at home on land and on the sea, and they see the world from a very different viewpoint, which must be, after all, the reason for the change. On the human side I could help spot drowning sailors etc, which would be useful, but I'm not sure I'd want to adopt their least attractive habit - ripping open bin bags!
ReplyDeleteI would choose a Shetland Pony as they are small and powerful, they can climb and are sturdy even though they are diminutive.
ReplyDeleteI would choose a cat, to jump and run and sneak and climb but then to sleep or eat and just chill in the sun! The life they lead while I head off to work each day looks a very relaxed one for me. to sleep in the sun and to chase the mice and birds would be my idea of heaven!
