Guys, I'm weird (spirit animal post)
11 years ago
Here's some stuff I wanted to say:
Ever since I was little, I've felt really connected to the wolf. I know, in the furry fandom, wolves are probably the most common fursona besides foxes. But this goes back to when I was able to form long-term memories.
We always went to Oconaluftee Village for vacation, a Cherokee Native American reservation. We were at the tourist side, of course. Native Americans and impersonators alike would always get together in the streets and perform their traditional stories and dance.
All the souvenir shops smell like leather and incense, and they all have traditional music blaring over the loud speakers. This place is still around, and I hope it stays forever.
Through everything I see there, all I truly care about is the one attraction I have never seen there: wolves. I feel their spirit among the native people, and I feel more wolf than Native American (I have Cherokee bloodlines in my family) on the inside.
Now, horses are very special to me as well. I love them, and they give me true peace when I'm around them. But wolves feel like family. I've been around one wild wolf in my life, and I can't believe how stupid I was.
She wandered up one day. Having mated with the neighbor's German Shepherd, she had no intention of leaving. She was completely feral, not letting anyone within a yard of her. But I wouldn't give up. Eventually, I could sit right with her and Arrow (her mate). She wouldn't let me touch her, but she would interact with me on her own terms (ie, nudging me, sniffing me, in one instance putting her large jaws gently around my face). And every night, she would howl. I would have given anything to have gone out there with her and howled, but my parents restricted my visits with her for obvious reasons.
It was when she started growling at my dad that they decided to call Animal Control. It was a sad day.
TL;DR I think the wolf is my spirit animal and every time I hear one howling or hear a drawn-out note I wanna howl, too. :U
And I love pretending I am one. >.> Because I'm an adult dammit.
