If you didn’t see this last week, There’s a Book started this new feature as a way to get to know each other ourselves outside of our love of books. Each week, she asks a new question each week designed to share our other interests that round us out as individuals. This week’s question is as follows:
Are you an animal person? Any type in particular?
Some of my long-term readers know that I have two dogs, who remain an utter delight, albeit frustrating at times.
 |
| Gretchen, age 6, and Cullen, age 2 |
However, I do love animals of all kinds. I tend to gravitate towards the majestic, powerful ones.
 |
| Is there anything more majestic? |
 |
| The purity of the white and the ferociousness of the animal gets me every time. |
 |
| Wolves remain my favorite. |
I also enjoy the cute and whimsical.

| Look at that face!! |

| The platypus cracks me up!! |
So, there’s a bit of what I like in animals. Which ones are your favorites?
Thank you very much! My husband is allergic to cats, otherwise I guarantee we would have one too. I love tigers too. There is something about the stripes; they give lions a run for their money on majesty in animals.
Thanks, Diane!!
This was so sweet Michelle. I love your animal photos.
Thanks! Cullen is exactly like a toddler; Gretchen is the older sister who just does not want to be bothered by another dog. Together, they make me laugh.
Favorite word, eh? I need a week to figure out that one!
Your dogs are so cute! I love the two of them together in that picture. They sound a lot like my toddlers, you love them to pieces, but sometimes they can be very aggravating. LOL.
I LOVE all the other animals you picked! The Planet Earth series was one of my absolute favorites, I just loved seeing all the different animals from around the world. SO neat!
Can't wait to see what your favorite word is!
My recent post A Bit of Me(Me) – Animals?
Thanks! They love to take pictures. Okay, well Cullen likes to take pictures. Gretchen just understands that she needs to sit when we tell her!
Pandas, cows and puffins? Strange combination is right! Allergies to animals suck.
I can't remember how we did it. Cullen is pretty good about posing. Gretchen is a bit more difficult but the two commands she knows pretty well are "sit" and "stay". Between the two, we can get a pretty good picture!
I love animals too. Your dogs are precious and I'm wondering how you got them to sit there like that so perfectly.
<3 A lovely post. I'm a huge animal lover and animal rights activist. The problem is, I'm allergic to a lot of animals – damn asthma and weak immune system!
Animals I have a particular soft spot for: Pandas, Cows, Puffins. (Strange combination, eh?)
How did you get your two dogs to pose like that? The only way I could it would be to try to hold a treat in my hand, while focusing and taking the picture — an impossible task 🙂 They are cuties!
