Which animal would you compare yourself to and why? So ask the Daily Writing prompt this morning.

An interesting question but one I didn’t feel like spending much time on. And I think I came across the answer on the second animal I looked up. I first thought about a cat but that isn’t it.

So I looked up the personality traits of Bears. And Google says they “are very gentle and tolerant animals. Mother bears are affectionate, protective, devoted, strict, sensitive, and attentive with their young. Not unlike people, bears can be empathetic, fearful, joyful, playful, social, and even altruistic.”

And why, well I feel I have these traits and I’m a bit of a bear to deal with according to my better half. I’ve had a beard my entire life. Well since I was very young. I’ve always been on the hairy side, not bear-like, but I do have chest hair

Like bears when I’m hungry I’m not happy. Like bears, if you think of messing with my family, remember the song title “Flirting with Disaster.” Like a bear, I have no trouble getting comfortable.
