May 2006 Pet Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TAURUS!

The New Year is one for bonding big-time. Taurean critters are all about warm and fuzzy family values. On the flip side, your world may be topsy-turvy during a possible change of address. Sure, a stable home means the world to dependable you, but don't be too stubborn to change.

Animal and Human Relationships: Psst! You may get a new roomie (or two) this year. Your social contacts are going to multiply and this is a good thing.

Health and Well-being: While all of this chaos is happening don't overindulge in fatty pet treats or play sofa spud. Get a move on, whether you're in a backyard, house, cage, or aquarium.

2006 Pet Tip: Remember, as an earth sign you must stay grounded no matter what people or pets enter your life.
