Xin Nian Kuai Le!

Happy New Year! It's the Year of the Dog. Are you a Dog? You are if you were born in 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994 or 2006.

People born in the Year of the Dog possess the best traits of human nature. They have a deep sense of loyalty, are honest and inspire other people's confidence because they know how to keep secrets. But Dog People are somewhat selfish, terribly stubborn and eccentric. They care little for wealth, yet somehow always seem to have money. They can be cold emotionally and sometimes distance at parties. They can find fault with many things and are noted for their sharp tongues. Dog People make good leaders. They are compatible with those born in the Years of the Horse, Tiger and Rabbit.

Gary and I were both born in the Year of the Tiger. And unless things go (horribly) wrong and our referral takes much, much longer, it's likely Piper was born in 2005, the Year of the Rooster. As one friend said..."good luck with that two-year-old!"
