Aries (March 21 - April 19) There are plenty of ways to be spontaneous, even if your owner needs everything orchestrated to a tee first thing in the morning. Once they get out the door, you have the day to do as you please, when you please.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Your owner may be in a hurry but you just can't be rushed. Your inner nature is winning out over your need to please for once. Grant yourself the time to sniff around, even if it puts you and your owner at odds.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) You may hope to run into your packmates and you may wish hard to go to the dog park -- or you can just make sure they happen. Take your dog-walking destination into your own paws.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Everything you see along the way reminds you of something or someone. Whether you're barking at shadows or wagging your tail at strangers, your good memory is behind everything you do.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Some dogs are just plain silly. They can have a good time out of anything, right down to chewing on their own leash. That's not your idea of fun. Come up with something more entertaining.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) You and your owner each have something that gives you your true sense of purpose. If they overlap, you're in luck. If they're the same, you're in gravy. And if it's walking, you're in heaven. Enjoy.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) It never occurs to you to compromise. You always put your human first. You finally put your paw down, and it's not as awful as it seems. In fact, you could make it a habit if you're not careful.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Examining each blade of grass is serious business, not to mention satisfying. But while you're busy being methodical, you're missing out on something important. Make sure to get your heart rate up.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) You're not the type to fall in love easily. That's because your life is already so filled with love and fun that you're not really missing anything. A certain someone takes you by surprise with their childish games. Enjoy the feeling.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) You can't take too many postponements. Didn't your owner read your contract? In any event, it's never too late to rewrite the rules. For every delayed walk, demand an extra biscuit.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Being informal is fine for some things. Like table scraps, for instance, or sleeping on the bed. But when it comes to your walking schedule, only a white-gloved routine will do. Demand one.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) No one can lift the haze but you. If your owner is confused about just how to make you happy, you have no dog to blame but yourself. Stop being so ambiguous about what it is you're begging for.
