YOUR DOG HOROSCOPE

Aries

March 21 - April 19

For the week of January 26, 2012

When one door on the dog carrier closes, another one opens. And, you can bet your bottom dollar that the Aries dog will be scratching and yelping until the second it does.  This feisty furball knows nothing about sitting contently in the carrier, waiting patiently, let alone obediently. Be sure to wear him out prior to any travel lasting beyond ten seconds.

Taurus

April 20 - May 20

For the week of January 26, 2012

There’s more to your cuddly Teddy-bear Taurus tot than meets the eye. This week you’ll get a chance to see a rare exhibition of some rather odd but oh-so lovable behaviors. Chasing after invisible objects?  Running in odd geometrical configurations instead of the usual circles? Sitting up in the dog bed staring at the ceiling? Consider it a canine creative spurt.

Gemini

May 21 - June 21

For the week of January 26, 2012

What to do with this adorable space cadet? For one thing, make sure she doesn’t walk out into traffic. Who has time to pay attention whilst enthralled in an eternal ping-pong match going on inside of her furry little noggin? Sometimes even the simple task of figuring out which direction to walk can set her into a total tailspin.

Cancer

June 22 - July 22

For the week of January 26, 2012

This sentimental sweetie will cry (whimper) you a river should you forget important things like sharing half your meal, or walking past choice sniffing posts. These things mean something, so never underestimate the power of the lithe things. It’s remembering all of her little faves that show you care. Don’t you dare miss a beat or a bone for that matter.

Leo

July 23 - August 22

For the week of January 26, 2012

Your diva dog is determined to stay calm and in control this week. Should other pesky pets try to wind her up, she’ll hold her own and ignore them. But if offensive, less dignified dogs insist on crossing the line, she’ll have no choice but to put them in their place– quickly regaining her perfectly poised stature, of course.

Virgo

August 23 - September 22

For the week of January 26, 2012

There seems to be a serious collision of interests between your mature mate and the brattier babies hanging around the dog park this week. Virgo dogs prefer to take their daily walks in peaceful solitude, communing with the grass and the trees often ignoring other hyper hypo mutts. Shield your pristine pup from all external interference this week, especially of the slobbering variety.

Libra

September 23 - October 22

For the week of January 26, 2012

Don’t confuse this cutie-pie canine with too many options this week. The more streamlined the routine, the better. This dog is constantly working to achieve the perfect balance between her own needs and pleasing her beloved owner. Haven’t you noticed the way she seems to totally adopt your own rhythm even if it means neglecting her own? Become a prime role model—K.I.S.S.

Scorpio

October 23 - November 21

For the week of January 26, 2012

When in doubt, indulge this dog. If any canine can handle extremes, it’s this dog. Plus if you give him watered down displays of love, he’ll have no qualms about showing you just how miserable he is. You think silent treatments from a human are painful? He’ll never let you forget what a tool you were in forgetting his treats.

Sagittarius

November 22 - December 21

For the week of January 26, 2012

Let this dog show you how to live the high life this week. Stock up on the super special treats, and take her to all of her favorite party spots. If it doesn’t feel like you’re on a non-stop vacay, something is amiss. Why wait for the holidays to live large-for bonvivant Sag dogs, every day is a cause for celebration!

Capricorn

December 22 - January 19

For the week of January 26, 2012

This pragmatic pooch prefers to stick with what he knows this week, but that doesn’t make him a stick-in-the mud. He’s just all the more wise for knowing how to conserve his energy rather than running after every shiny object that crosses his path. It’s not a matter of needing to be more adventurous; this dog has mastered the art of perfect contentment.

Aquarius

January 20 - February 18

For the week of January 26, 2012

This rebellious rug-rat is as stubborn as a mule this week. Forget about gentle persuasion, you’re going to need to be way savvier to convince this dog to do it your way. The only hope is tricking him into thinking he’s getting his own way when it’s actually the other way around. Good luck-this dog is sure to outsmart most, even you.

Pisces

February 19 - March 20

For the week of January 26, 2012

This compassionate canine can feel the woes of the world, and every nuance of ill treatment that goes on in the dog park this week. If she seems a bit under the weather chalk it up to such sensitivity.  Time away from the masses is just what the doctor ordered. Let her rejuvenate in the sanctuary of her home sweet home.
