what about taking a magic pill that allows you to become any animal species for one hour.
I dunno. This is a tough one.
On the one side: In a Perfect World Scenario, where their lives are what we dream they are instead of what I reasonably know their lives to be, I'd almost like to be a Wolf. Knowing the actual hard life they really live, and the way that I as an interloping lone wolf would be treated by any established pack, I say why?
One the other side, among my animals: The relationship between us, and what makes it what it is, what made it what it was with my lovers, is that we were different. That I was NOT a dog to their bitch, but a human. That she was not a woman to my human, but a bitch. That I was me and she was her. That I was "silverwolf" and she was Shadow, or before her, Tippy. I wouldn't change that, or wish it so.
Nor would I wish changed the special relationship I have with the others, the way we communicate, feel, friend each other. That WOULD change were I to suddenly become a horse among them, fighting the herd dynamic.
Even if to stay apart from the others and run a bit with the Pal, Misty, who doesn't yet accept the herd as hers. She begins to accept me, as me. Were I to be a horse, even for a bit, beside her beauty, run with that flowing mane, share breath & wrap heads over bulging necks.. oh, a dream.. but a sharp and painful one when the progress I've made disappears in the aftermath. No, a human is who I want her to know, and maybe someday love...
