No, the Eagles did “Desperado”, but it was close enough to Justin Bieber & Luis Fonsi’s massive hit “Despacito” that I thought it would be fun to switch it. 😁 And you picked up on this!
Yes, a bit different than Welsh valley accents. 😉 The Valley girl was the closest I could think of to explain the horrible way young people talk now, with all that rising intonation. Drives me batty.
I like the move from “fast lane” to slow (despacito) 🙂
I checked out Valley accents via YouTube and wished I hadn’t…I looked up Welsh valley accents there too, which are more fun. And then inevitably I got sidetracked into Dylan Thomas recordings (though he was from Swansea, not the valleys), which are seriously amazing, of course. So thank you for getting me there!
😆 I, too, went looking for Welsh accents. Uh, yeah, sorry about that. Valley girl accents are painful, aren’t they? And that is too funny you noticed ‘fast to slow’!
On first reading the title, I picked up 'We are spirit animals,' and immediately thought, 'oh, what a great new perspective'... until I realised that this 'different' perspective was entirely my own.
The subtitle 'do I have to take mine to the vet?' is yours though, and it made me burst out laughing.
So did the 'angry god and his much nicer son'...
Your writing style and presentation of this 'esoteric topic' feels refreshingly down to earth.
A couple of 'spirit animal books' have lived in my bookshelves for years (since back in the days when we didn't have the internet as our enyclopædia of everything). We use them whenever an animal crosses our path in some obvious, persistent, or unusual manner.
My answer from such experiences is, "no, we've never had to take any of them to the vet."
Ha! 🥰 Oh, yes, I, too, have had animal divination material in my house. I used to look for the meaning behind seeing hawks in the sky or deer or butterflies. I think this is why I could easily poke fun at this genre. (Is genre the right word?) Glad you got the humor and could relate, Veronika! 😁 Thanks, xo
Yeah, the owl story did happen, but the cats did not talk 😂 and the rest of it was parody. I think I was part of the New Age movement for too long because it seemed that everything that crosses one’s path held meaning, from animals to numbers, like dream interpretation!
Ha! To be fair though, I inherited those cats from long long ago, but I always thought their names were awesome. 😻😻
omg my cat is also named Pippin - not my spirit animal but definitely an animal spirit
I got my NiuNiu (a black cat). Wait, she’s my husband’s spirit daughter!
😆😻
Very funny! What a talent you have. Though I had to look up Valley girl accent." A bit different from Welsh valley accents, then.
But. Did the Eagles really have a big hit called "despacito"? Just askin'.

Oh YES - that rising intonation thing makes me crazy-zee also! A permanent questioning tone intercepted only by "like." Oh my god, totally, you know?
Arghhhh! (Perhaps I should re-read my ownCurmudgeons post now lol ...)

😁 The accents were certainly… interesting.
I love your sense of humour, Lani!

Not sure about my fav spirit animal coming to me . I’ve been lucky to see bald eagles several times because I lived in the right places in Canada.
