Aries (March 21 - April 19) You, standoffish? Never! You'll want to be the first one to meet the newbie, and with enthusiasm. Go ahead, give them the same ardent greeting you usually reserve for your favorite human.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) You're slow by nature. You like to think things over, not to mention sniff them from top to bottom and back again. So when you're feeling a bit rushed, it makes you want to snap. Literally. Be your own muzzle today.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) You can sit in your basket and go over your mental list of wishes, or you can get up, stretch, and start checking them off one by one. Yes, you really can get quite a few satisfying things done if you take the initiative.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) You're suspicious of everyone, even your owner. That makes for some friction on your walks. You're both better off ditching the effort and staying in the yard for a change.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Learning something new doesn't necessarily prove you're not an old dog, it just proves that some old saws die hard. Whatever the case may be, you'll have a good time being an agile pupil today.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Barking gives you your true sense of purpose -- until eating does, which can be easily replaced with walking. You get the picture. Whatever you do today, you'll tackle it with high-spirited gusto.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) This is one day you just can't blend into the crowd. Some pack business requires one-on-one attention. Don't get your fur up, though. The only bad thing involved is your own inner projection.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) No matter how much of a junkyard dog you fancy yourself to be, avoid getting into any scraps. Even a tiny teacup could draw blood and in the most inconvenient of places. Your best bet is your basket.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) You're not getting much done, and you're not having much fun, either. It's just another weekday. But wait, there's more! If you act now, you can still find a way to fit some exercise and love into your day.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Doesn't your owner know that time with you is the polar opposite of job and career? They seem to think they can have it all. That's a common human misperception, and not one to be taken personally.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) It will be a more informal day than you're expecting. There's no suit or tie involved. In fact, there won't be any keys heard, either, except when it's time for your walk. Yep, your human took the day off. Enjoy.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Your dreams are bewildering so don't waste time trying to make sense of them. You're better served shaking them off first thing in the morning and avoiding all naps. The only apparition you'll see is your human returning through the door.
