A bit of lighthearted astrology by Valerie Gordon

If I had a Virgo dog, it would probably have reminded me to do this page instead of forgetting all about it!  Virgos like lists, you see, time-tables, schedules and so on.  Of course, dogs can’t write lists – I know that, but he would have been nipping at my heels, dragging me over to the computer and doing all he could to indicate that I had forgotten something and eventually I would have slapped my hand to my head in realisation, and Virgo doggie would have gone round in circles wagging his tail until it dropped off. Well, I haven’t got a Virgo dog, so I apologise for my tardiness.

Your  Virgo dog will like his bed properly made up and organised.  No slapshod old dirty blanket thrown on the floor. All bedding to be washed at least once a week please, and more times in the winter when the mud comes in.   That goes for your bed too, otherwise he won’t jump up on it and join you in the morning. Virgo canine will like a clean bowl too, please, and fresh water twice a day. 

Virgos colours are brown (earth element) and yellow (ruled by Mercury) So if you are the kind of person who likes to buy cute little numbers for their dog, make sure you don’t make a fool out of him in pinks and purples.  Something smart, but not garish please.  No bows or pigtails.  He won’t appreciate it.  Nor will he appreciate it if you insist on him accompanying you when you are dressed like Miss Piggy.  Per-lease.  Have some decorum for the dog’s sake. (Libra doggie (below) well, that’s another matter….)

Human Virgos are known to be very cerebral, so you can expect  your dog to do a lot of thinking too.  It will run along the lines of, “Hope Mum brings a bone back from the butchers.  I’d prefer beef, but lamb will do.” or “The carpet is not aligned properly to the table - wish Dad would straighten that up, it’s driving me potty.”  “I’d really like it if they would take me for a run along Old Hunstanton Beach before it rains”. And finally “It’s about time Mum realised that she could clean the windows with vinegar and newspaper – so much cheaper”.

Human Virgos are known at times to say what they think without regard to people’s feeling.  If they think you look fat, they will tell you.  Well, as we all know, dogs can’t talk, but they can let you know what they think sometimes by being a bit snappy – nothing to hurt, but just to let you know, or of course by barking at you until you comprehend.  Summary:  Would like to work at a launderette. And now…
