Sorry. Wasn’t that what you wanted?
Enough of this monkey business. This theme’s been dogging me all week. Quit badgering me.
I stopped my horsing around and I beavered away on this until morning: a veritable night owl. Now I can crow about the results.
Take a gander at this list of animal similes. Go hog-wild and think of your own answers. Do any definitions apply to you? Don’t be chicken and clam up - you can’t outfox me.

Do you ever get compared to an animal or told you have animal characteristics? Do you see traits in yourself?
I’m as pampered as a kitten and as curious as a cat but I’m like a dog with a bone when presented with a puzzle.
Share your animal characteristics with me. Be rude if you like. Oh, oh. Now my goose is cooked!
Oh gee... okay. I'm as hairy as a lion, I'm as tiny as a mouse, I'm as giggly as a hyena, I'm definitely as curious as a cat, I get as cranky as a chimp in a zoo, I'm as talkative as a parrot. In the morning I'm as grumpy as a hibernating bear. Before coffee I'm as slow as a sloth, after coffee I'm as bouncy as a kangaroo. Ciao for now, i'm as sleepy as a boa constrictor after it has swallowed all of the above.
ReplyDeleteVery Fun! Thank you! I'm playing night owl tonight, too, working on Thursday's theme.
ReplyDeleteI as busy as a slug in a garden with new seedlings. Cute post!

ReplyDeleteThis Muppet animal was actually the first one that popped into my head when I was wondering what to post on this theme! Clever post, Clever Pup!!
ReplyDeletecrazy as a fox.
ReplyDeletefun and punny post. unfortunately my shell is not as hard as a turtles, maybe more like a softshell crab. before my coffee, i tend to be as snuggly as a wolverine.
ReplyDeletestubborn as a mule ;)
ReplyDeletevery clever! Too early for me to play along.
ReplyDeleteVery cute post. Guess no one said it has to be a real live animal.
ReplyDeleteI have been told I resemble Edward. I think it's the colouring. I quite certain it is not the blue tongue.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm in love with Animal...
ReplyDeleteand I'm as dogged as a wild boar hunting for truffles...
This post was very clever indeed!Original and very cool.
ReplyDeleteLove Muppets too!
Ok then, here you go:
ReplyDeleteas proud as a seagull hitting a bulls eye from overhead at the beach
as wise as a cat lazily watching its owner scoop up its poop
as blind as a possum partying far too late and stuck crossing the busy street in broad daylight
as strong as a husky as it drags you down the path from it’s leash going after something its interested in
as quiet as your dog pacing under the table for accidental scraps
as slippery as a coyote looking for a suburban snack
as hairy as a malamute shedding in August
as stubborn as a bull dog not letting go of its favorite chew toy
as sly as a pride of lions taking down a stray elephant at night because they know it cannot see
as busy as a pooping rabbit
as slow as a sloth; and damn proud of it
as fat as a hippo conveniently concealing that fact by submerging underwater
Woohoo VE. VEry Good.
ReplyDeleteAwww, what a great post!
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling chipper as a chipmunk 'cause the sun is shining and I have a bowlful of almonds to nibble on(and no, I don't store them in my cheek)and a little free time to check in on some favorite blog places..
ReplyDeleteI like that you chose Animal as your "animal" for the theme-makes me want to watch some Muppet Shows right now.

ReplyDeleteI'm nocturnal as an owl,and a crab before my coffee!

ReplyDeleteOn occasion, I can get as randy as a rogue donkey.
