2. After interviewing my sister about the housing and conditions an adopted
dog would encounter at her home if she was allowed to adopt it, the shelter said she wanted to come back as my sister's dog for her next life.

Me, I would probably be a golden retriever. Big, blonde with a lotta hair and jolly sense of humor, always looking for kids to play with. Yep, that's me.

What I would like to be in another life is an otter. They look like they have a lotta joy about life.

Havocdad wants us to come back as migrating birds which pair for life, but then he likes to travel and study trees.

5. Havocmom is right
I wanna be an otter.

Actually it seems to me that all marine mammals have more fun than anybody else-- especially dolphins and otters. The only ones that don't are the ones attacked by predators (seals and certain whales) and the ones threatened by human actions (especially manatees, who keep getting gouged by the propellors of outboard motors).

However, my totem animal is probably the American bison. I wear the same beard :-)

7. Is this a job interview?
As long as I'm an indoor pet (I do not like the outdoors), and my owners feed me some yummy meat, and don't castrate me... I don't care.

16. An ocelot or an ocicat - I think they are just the most beautiful
creatures. Maine Coon cats are pretty cool too.
Not sure I'd get off on the diet though...
Our Layla Babycat came pouncing through the house with a mousie dangling from her little teeth last night - she's so stinkin' funny when she catches something, she absolutely parades it around, but with an air of nonchalance mixed with pride, it's a hoot.

20. Yes, but..it would take hours and hours just to finish one martini.
That might be a major drawback. ;)

21. A sea cucumber.
Because I've always wanted to shoot my internal organs at potential threats.

Either that, or a titmouse.
