August 2006 Pet Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LEO!

Lion pets feel, throughout 2006, a deep desire to look at their purpose in life. This year you will whine, yowl, and make your deepest animal emotions known to your human companions. It's time for change and renewal and you will speak out in your own dramatic style.

Animal and Human Relationships: The upside is, after you vocalize your discontent your animal's eye-view of your environment will look different and your temperament will be more on even keel.

Health and Well-being: This is the year to not fight the grooming appointment or pet psychic. It's all good. Enjoy the attention you outgoing Leo.

2006 Pet Tip: As a fire sign, it's essential for you to pamper your ego and you will show your true colors.
