Doggie Horoscopes

TEDDY - Jan 3rd

Capricorn Dogs (December 22 – January 19)


The mighty planet Saturn rules this Earth sign. Colors range from dark green to violet and black. Amethyst is the preferred gem stone while the tree is the noble Pine.
The motto is “Do the Right Thing.” This is part of the complex nature of the Capricorn dog. Because Capricorn is always craving admiration and love, these dogs tend to be a flirt. They love attention at the Doggy Salon. They want to be admired for their looks and even their brains. Capricorn dogs, as a result, tend to be good show dogs. They like to look good and want to climb higher on the social ladder. They seek it tenaciously.
Yet, they never step outside the boundaries of acceptable behavior. Capricorn dogs are conventional. They are house proud and strong willed. Yet, they do not seek what they want or enforce their will in creative or unorthodox means. As a dog parent, a Capricorn is always pushing their puppies forward towards success.


TOFFEE - Feb 6th

Aquarius Dogs (January 20 – February 18)


The planet Uranus rules over this fixed Air sign. The colors are blue and violet. The gem stones are also blue-to-purple being aquamarines and amethysts. The trees are all fruitful: Pear, Apple, Plum, Orange.
The motto of an Aquarius dog is “I just want to see how it works.” This is behind a lot of what Aquarian dogs do. It is also why they can get into mischief if not downright trouble. From puppies to adults they are curious, precocious from step one. They must know it all.
Aquarius dogs are free spirits. They are trusting, fearless and courageous. They can talk incessantly. Yet, Aquarians can be thoughtful when they are planning/plotting what to do next. Whatever it is they plan to do, it will exhibit a lot of originality and creativity.
Great eaters, good athletes and independent, Aquarius dogs learn easily. The problem is convincing them they should learn in the first place. Moreover, Aquarians have their own idea of how and when they need to learn. Give them some leeway, but do maintain some semblance of control.
Aquarian dogs love people but tolerate other animals in their home. Be aware of this and adopt the proper measures when introducing another human or animal into the house.


GYPSY - Sept 14th

Virgo Dogs (August 23 – September 22)


The planet is Mercury, the color, chartreuse. Virgo is an Earth sign with a fondness for nut bearing trees. The gem stones are pink jasper and sapphires.
The motto is “Zen puppy.” Virgos do need to tone down some of your verbal expressiveness. You may also want to watch the digging. Virgos are the best at digging the ultimate hole to China. Gardens and pristine lawn keepers beware or adapt. Yet, in general, a Virgo dog is a delight. This puppy or dog is the most tranquil of all the signs.
Virgos tend to be naturally friendly with a warm disposition. They adapt easily to the chaos that may overwhelm other more timid or rigid dogs. At the same time, Virgo dogs love routine and are sometimes shy around strangers or in crowded training sessions.

Silly Girl

So im sitting on here reading the forums , my OH is in bed (he gets up at 1:00am for work) and I hear this whining.
I know its Gypsy whining , but theres no reason for her to whine cos she's not long come in from the garden , without turning round I say 'quiet Gypsy' and carry on reading (sometimes she just demands attention so ive taken to not really ignoring her , but not giving her what she wants every time)

The whining carries on ... I say 'will you be quiet Gypsy'

still whining , so I call her to me , she doesnt come and is still whining

I pat my leg and call her ... no Gypsy , still whining

so I turn around to see whats wrong ... I cant see her but I hear her whining and see the bedroom curtains moving

The daft sod has only managed to climb onto the window sill by getting onto a cabinet but now cant turn around and either cant or wont jump down

ok, im evil but I couldnt help laughing as I picked her up and gave her a cuddle
silly little thing she is ... I do love her

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She's done it twice more since I wrote this , ive now piled a load of pillows against the window so she cant get up there ... tomorrow im going to have to move the cabinet

Id be mad if it wasnt so comical ... its hard to be angry with a dog when she looks as relieved as Gypsy does when you pick her off the window sill and cuddle her , lmao

Worlds End today

We went to Worlds End in Wales again today ... I love it there , even though its quite bleak , the dogs can really stretch their legs and have fun in the heather ... There was quite a few sheep dotted around , but we kept our distance and they kept theirs , apart from the first initial curiosity none of the dogs seem bothered or interested in them at all , errr , great sheep dogs huh , lmao
