When your pup is sick, shower her with extra TLC. Here's how to care for your dog when she's not feeling her best.

Whether we like it or not, we all know that as we age, things that were once easy become more difficult.

If an Aries dog chooses to adopt you, make sure you have a lot of energy. The first sign of the Zodiac, they are spirited and vivacious with an antic sense of humor.

A Taurus dog is inherently shy and has a great need for security. They don't like to ride in the car, hate to move and abhor loud noises and chaos of any kind. Some call these dogs lazy, but others prefer to say they are extra cuddly and are always up snuggles in their favorite sunny spot. If you have a Taurus pup, you likely already know how they seek out stability and thrive with a consistent routine. Try not to argue in front of your little Taurean and take more care on July 4^th with your Taurus pooch than you would with other signs. Both thunderstorms and fireworks send them into a tizzy. Although very sweet, Taurus dogs are ruled by Venus and are known to be quite headstrong—not surprising considering this sign is also represented by the bull.  

A Gemini dog is an excellent companion for owners who enjoy a lot of outdoor activity. Ruled by Mercury, these pups are intelligent and excitable; they require a big yard to race around in or long walks to burn off nervous energy. They also have a very low boredom point and need constant changes of scenery, toys, activities and food types. The more exotic the better – they are food adventurists.
