Do you know your Chinese Zodiac sign? It’s a fun thing to read about and see how close it matches your personality. I was born in the year of the dog, which at first sounded lame to me- I wanted to be something cool, like the dragon or tiger. But it could be worse- I could’ve been born in the year of the pig (Sorry if you are born in that year!)

AND according to the “stuff” I read, “The Dog is the most likeable sign in the Chinese zodiac” so, I’m pretty much loved by everyone. (wink)

It also says the Dog and Horse are compatible, which is a good thing ’cause I am married to a horse! Yet, his personality doesn’t match that of the Chinese Horse, so go figure.
