I am feeling incredibly stressed out about the Canadian election (and... everything else). So I spent a lot of time hanging out with my animal friends, who never vote conservative. (Well, maybe the geese. They are power-hungry jerks).
@sundogplanets Goats are so cute... and annoying. I love them!
@sundogplanets Now that I think of it, I'm coming back as a goat.
@mcourcel @sundogplanets I was thinking about this the other day and I think I want to come back as a tree in a forest so I can experience the way that plants communicate with each other through their root systems and things like that. It would be fascinating.
@Pawpower @sundogplanets Being a tree in a forest would actually be so peaceful. Until a squirrel comes and knaws on your nuts.
@Pawpower @mcourcel Have you read Semiosis? Pretty much tries to answer that question!
@sundogplanets @mcourcel No, I haven't, but I will definitely put it on my to read list. It sounds really interesting!
@Pawpower Not my favourite book ever, but it has some REALLY cool ideas, including a highly intelligent sentient plant, and how that plant would interact with humans.
@sundogplanets Oh wow, the more you talk about it the more interesting it sounds. I will get it and tell you what I think!
@sundogplanets @Pawpower I will defintely look that up.
@sundogplanets Canadian geese are not like other Canadians.
@EricFielding My geese are Canadian in that they hatched in Canada, but they're breed is Emden. Total jerks. But they do a good job protecting the chickens from predators!
@EricFielding Wow that's a lot of typos. Leaving it for posterity and signing off for the night!
@sundogplanets Maybe all breeds of geese are jerks, born in Canada or elsewhere.
@EricFielding @sundogplanets They probably just like to pretend to hide their insecurity. Deep inside they're decent beings and perhaps even vote Liberal.
@sundogplanets I’ve kept chickens, who are great. Geese -are- jerks and I feel no regret eating goose-fat fries.
@sundogplanets I’m stressed too. Maybe the geese are simply ungovernable? 🤷‍♀️ The pics are much appreciated.
@sundogplanets They would eat the ballot before voting conservative!

@sundogplanets

Well, if it quacks like a…. ehhhh… 😀

@sundogplanets These baby goats are way too cute!
@sundogplanets Yes, I have some Emdens too, and all they’re missing is the little peaked cap.
Obviously they’ve already got the blue eyes and goosestepping covered …
@sundogplanets Elections are stressful, specially in the internet era. But, I'm more stressed about elections in Romania than in Canada. I haven't seen the polls for Canada, but I've seen Carney ;)
By the way, I don't see any cats on your little zoo, so I guess there are no conservatives there :D
Is the little goat planning to eat that paper? :D
@sundogplanets I can't watch the election results - too much anxiety!
@PhoenixSerenity SAME. Tomorrow is going to be rough...
@sundogplanets I will likely puke a few times, due to anxiety.
@sundogplanets geese can be such thugs! Kia kaha. May reason and common sense prevail. #ElbowsUp
