I'm a Dog!!

I found out the other day that under the Chinese Horoscope I am a dog, in fact I am a metal dog.

Normally I don't take much notice of horoscopes, the ones I have read for Pisces seem to be all things to all people, however some of the description that I found for the dog sounds about right.

Personality Traits:

People born under the year of the Dog tend to be very well liked as it is one of the most popular of all of the animals.

Dog people are: truthful, clever, with a strong sense of fairness and devotion. They never shirk their duties, they always do their fair share of things and will always "listen to reason".

They would never ignore a distress call, often putting the well-being of others before their own and they never abandon people. Other traits include: open-mindedness, never envious, non money-minded and very adept at seeing straight through others.

However should you try to snoop into their affairs they can become secretive and also give a cold shoulder to those who they don't really like.

They are also: intrepid, practical and "have great insight into human nature". They can be belligerent, gloomy, be anxious for no apparent reason and they absolutely detest pretence.

Inevitabilities are never put on hold, neither is giving a clear-cut answer to something. Above all they are never sly, underhand or crafty.

Metal Dogs are generous, judicious, rigid, motivated by devotion and gracious.

Wikipedia says:

The Dog is the most likeable sign of the Chinese zodiac. Like his animal namesake, he is loyal with a capital "L".

He is the one who people are most likely to turn to when they need help. The dog person will come through every time. That is because he/she is sensitive to others and empathizes with them, particularly if someone has suffered an injustice; he/she reacts quickly with the same feeling as though he/she had been personally offended.

Friends know that they can rely upon their Dog friend to keep a promise or remain cool in a crisis.

Dog types are honest, intelligent and straightforward. They will take on any responsibility that is given to them and you can be sure that they will do their job well.

People born in this year tend to be easily upset and shocked more often than the other more signs.

The dog is loyal yet selfish. Beware of the dragon. Dogs are friends with horses.


Apparently people who are Metal Dogs are more likely to suffer from stress, though some how I don' think that my doctor will think much of that explanation, the next time I get so stressed out, it turns to serious depression again and I end up back on the anti depressents :0)
