Aries (March 21 - April 19) It's not a grandiose kind of day. If you want to enjoy yourself, you have to be ready to take advantage of the small opportunities that present themselves. If you can't find any at first, then slow down and look around you. They're all over the doghouse.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Being grounded isn't all that bad, once you get past the howling and whining phase. There's actually plenty to do, even if you're the only one home to do it with. You'll look at the doghouse in an entirely different way by the time the day is over. Consider it a form of enlightenment.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Sometimes even the best behaved of dogs has to push the envelope a bit. You're wondering if the Off The Couch rule still stands, or if you should beg for an extra walk. You never know until you try. Playing it safe certainly never earned you any biscuits.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Other dogs may assume you're being cowardly when they see you avoiding a situation, but being afraid has nothing to do with it. You'll have to deal with it head on, even if that's not the way you want to take care of things. If nothing else, it dispels any rumors or chinks in your reputation.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) You have the self-esteem of two dogs. Maybe that qualifies as arrogance, but it's not as if it's unwarranted. No one can sit or stay more beautifully than you, and no one listens to commands more often. The same amount, maybe, but certainly not more. Go ahead and take your ego out for a good dusting off.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Sometimes being good is its own reward, and other times it's just hard work. All of your diligence pays off today and with more than just extra biscuits. You may meet a new dog who changes everything. New blood is just what you and your pack mates need, so enjoy the buzz that a budding friendship brings you.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Even you know when you've reached too much of a good thing. Whether it's lounging on the couch or eating table scraps, you've had enough. You'll be in a bad place if you don't stop when you've reached your limit, though. That's not a good state to be in, but some things you just have to experience for yourself.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Getting along well with the other dogs isn't really the cardinal rule of your pack, but it's one you like to live by. Sometimes you have to bend the rules a bit. You won't hesitate to respond when another dog throws down the gauntlet. Consider it a way of restoring the peace and nothing more.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) When it comes to chewing on your owner's belongings, it seems as if money is no object. It's true that your tastes run on the rich side when it comes to what you choose to help yourself to, but it's strictly coincidental. Your human could stand to learn from you when it comes to understanding what has real value anyway.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) A particular dog may not be impressing others, but they're sure impressing you. You couldn't care less if they looked like something the cat dragged in. They have that certain something that makes you feel like you're on an incredible journey together. Enjoy the excitement of their company and ignore the looks of the rest of the pack.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) You're too tired to fight with another dog, but when confronted, you can't just hang your head and pretend you're not up to the challenge. You can get away with plenty of posturing, though, because your owner will reign you in before things heat up. Thank your owner once you're out of sight of the dog park.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Your pack needs a new leader. You help everyone by pointing that out, even if it seems obvious. No one wants to be the first dog to acknowledge the elephant in the living room. The two are simply not compatible in the eyes of the fiercely loyal.
