7:13 AM - DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!
Current mood:  crushed
Category: Pets and Animals
I lost my little black kitten, Solstice, Thursday Night to her choking on the eye from a toy mouse. It was her favorite kind so she had several of them. This little baby was doing tricks when ever I picked one up just to get it from me. I tried everything to save her, but it was all so fast she died in my hands.

1:55 PM - If You Love Your Cat, Don't Declaw!
by Jackie Bell
Many years ago when I had my beloved Siamese, I used to get annoyed when she would scratch me in play on my legs. I was ignorant about young kitten behavior and instead of making an effort to amuse her and train her to use a scratching post, I took the lazy way out and simply had her declawed. I always wondered if perhaps her life could have been more satisfying if she had been allowed to express her natural self.

CATS NEED THEIR CLAWS......
Physically
A cat's body is very well designed. The skeleton is more elastic and better jointed than that of a dog. In the shoulder there is so much play that the shoulder blade may touch the jaw or slide back as far as the eighth or tenth rib. All muscles governing this lithe, little body are highly developed. This naturally gives the cat great climbing power (if he is not deliberately handicapped by a human.) A part of this wondrous mechanism are his ingeniously designed retractable claws. His claws allow him to establish footing for walking, running, springing, climbing and stretching. Scratching is a normal characteristic of a healthy cat. Not only does it exercises the foot muscles but it removes dead tissue from the nails.
Emotionally
A clawless life is one without self-defense, psychologically. I haven't the foggiest about what a cat thinks but I know that deprived of what nature has given him, he is without something he needs to express himself. Cats operate with their senses and when deprived of claws lose part of what they need to be happy. Besides the physical mutilation a declawing can change a cat's emotions. Because a cat is now defenseless (emotion is part of the physical whole), personality and disposition may completely change. A cat could become aggressive and mentally have a difficult time adjusting to a clawless life. Think about how you would feel if someone cut off your fingertips? Deprived of its claws, a cat may turn to its only other form of defense- its teeth. It is fairly common for a declawed cat to become a biter. They do this out of fear and frustration. The last thing we want to do is mess up our cats mentally because all aspects of behavior are affected (including litter box habits)! Scratching has a soothing, comforting effect that creates a tranquil disposition.
What Happens When a Cat is Declawed?
Note the strong ligaments and tendons which give power to extend and retract the claws in the drawing:
 
When the end digit including the claw is removed, the sensory and motor nerves are cut, damaged and destroyed. They do not repair themselves or grow back for many months. There follows a wooden lack of feeling, then a tingling sensation during the long convalescence. The cat must walk on the stub end of the second digit. Sometimes a claw grows back, but not in the normal way. Rather, they grow up through the top of the paw creating a bloody sore. The physical effect of declawing is gradual weakening of the muscles of the legs, shoulders and back. Balance is now impaired. Declawed cats must feel defenseless and certainly live with more stress in their lives. Despite its grace, a cat is not sure- footed. Without the ability to grasp with its claws, it can easily be injured in a fall.
Why Do People Declaw Anyway?
If you are the kind of person that has more value in inanimate objects such as furniture and priceless heirlooms, do yourself a favor and go buy a piece of art. Think about why you want a cat in the first place. Was it something that would class up your environment? Was it something you imagined would sit at your feet adoringly looking up at you? If none of the above and you want a cat for companionship and to be a part of this wonderful creature's activities, then you are going to have to understand that all young animals go through a series of behaviors (much like children). Kittens have their crazies and with patience and training, can and will learn to express themselves in ways that make them compatible living in homes with humans.
But My Vet Declaws Cats All the Time and Says It's OK?
True, vets do declaw all the time. Ok however, is questionable. Think about how vets make their living. Exams, maintenance shots, neutering, spaying and an occasional injury. Many vets make additional income in feline practice by suggesting declawing with the same reverence as one asked "shampoo and set?" at the beauty parlor! Don't let your vet (in the guise of the welfare of the cat) intimidate you into getting unnecessary surgical procedures done that will alter the natural psyche of your cat.
So How Do You Protect Yourself and the Brand New Sofa?
Provide your cat with his own place to scratch. Cats have scent glands in the paws and they are creatures of ritual. If you see your cat going towards that beautiful tapestry chair, take him to the scratching post, carpet square or cardboard corrugate you can get at the pet shop for a few dollars. Gently take his paws and move back and forth on the substitute, for his scent will now be on the desired object. Cats are very intelligent and will get the idea fast. What I do is take my own finger and scratch on the post. For some reason all my cats then use the scratching post in imitation!
When getting a new kitten, keep him in a room when you are at work so you are around to monitor the incidences of forbidden scratching. Never smack a cat if he is tearing up your furniture. To discipline, take a rolled up newspaper and gently swat the cat away. Usually they are very insulted and will associate the humiliation with the behavior at that moment. Then take the cat back to it's own place to scratch and encourage him to scratch there instead.
It's Not Difficult To Give Your Cat A Manicure...
I usually clip my cat's nails after they have had their dinner and are mellow. They aren't crazy about it, but it has to be. The kittens' claws grow fast but an interesting reaction to man's action is with time, the vein in a cat's claw will actually retreat back as the kitten matures so ultimately you can take off more nail with a clipper less frequently as the cat gets older!
Please see illustration on clipping your cat's claws:
 
Although the illustration shows it, do not use a humans' nail clippers for they will shatter and splinter a claw. The investment in a cat claw clipper is negligible compared to potential damage that can be done by sharp claws. An untrimmed claw can actually grow circular right back into the paw!

1:42 PM - Basic Rules For Running A Household
** DOORS: Do not allow closed doors in any room. To get door opened, stand on hind legs and hammer with forepaws. Once door is opened, it is not necessary to use it. After you have ordered an "outside" door opened, stand halfway in and out and think about several things. This is particularly important during very cold weather, rain, snow, or mosquito season. Swinging doors are to be avoided at all costs.
** CHAIRS and RUGS: If you have to throw up, get to a chair quickly. If you cannot manage in time, get to an Oriental rug. If there is no Oriental rug, shag is good. When throwing up on the carpet, make sure you back up so that it is as long as the human's bare foot.
** BATHROOMS: Always accompany guests to the bathroom. It is not necessary to do anything -- just sit and stare.
** HAMPERING: If one of your humans is engaged in some close activity and the other is idle, stay with the busy one. This is called "helping", otherwise known as "hampering". Following are the rules for "hampering":
a) When supervising cooking, sit just behind the left heel of the cook. You cannot be seen and thereby stand a better chance of being stepped on and then picked up and comforted.
b) For book readers, get in close under the chin, between eyes and book, unless you can lie across the book itself. c) For knitting projects or paperwork, lie on the work in the most appropriate manner so as to obscure as much of the work or at least the most important part. Pretend to doze, but every so often reach out and slap the pencil or knitting needles. The worker may try to distract you; ignore it. Remember, the aim is to hamper work.
Embroidery and needlepoint projects make great hammocks in spite of what the humans may tell you.
d) For people paying bills (monthly activity) or working on income taxes or Christmas cards (annual activity), keep in mind the aim -- to hamper! First, sit on the paper being worked on. When dislodged, watch sadly from the side of the table. When activity proceeds nicely, roll around on the papers, scattering them to the best of your ability. After being removed for the second time, push pens, pencils, and erasers off the table, one at a time.
e) When a human is holding the newspaper in front of him/her, be sure to jump on the back of the paper. They love to jump too.
** WALKING: As often as possible, dart quickly and as close as possible in front of the human, especially: on stairs, when they have something in their arms, in the dark, and when they first get up in the morning. This will help their coordination skills.
** BEDTIME: Always sleep on the human at night so s/he cannot move around.
** PLAY: This is an important part of your life. Get enough sleep in the daytime so you are fresh for your nocturnal games. Below are listed several favorite cat games that you can play. It is important though to maintain one's Dignity at all times. If you should have an accident during play, such as falling off a chair, immediately wash a part of your body as if to say "I MEANT to do that!" It fools those humans every time.
CAT GAMES:
"Catch Mouse": The humans would have you believe that those lumps under the covers are their feet and hands. They are lying. They are actually Bed Mice, rumored to be the most delicious of all the mice in the world, though no cat has ever been able to catch one. Rumor also has it that only the most ferocious attack can stun them long enough for you to dive under the covers to get them. Maybe YOU can be the first to taste the Bed Mouse!
"King of the Hill": This game must be played with at least one other cat. The more, the merrier! One or both of the sleeping humans is Hill 303 which must be defended at all costs from the other cat(s). Anything goes. This game allows for the development of unusual tactics as one must take the unstable playing theater into account.
WARNING: Playing either of these games to excess will result in expulsion from the bed and possibly from the bedroom. Should the humans grow restless, immediately begin purring and cuddle up to them.
This should buy you some time until they fall asleep again. If one happens to be on a human when this occurs, this cat wins the round of King of the Hill.
** TOYS: Any small item is a potential toy. If a human tries to confiscate it, this means that it is a Good Toy. Run with it under the bed. Look suitably outraged when the human grabs you and takes it away.
Always watch where it is put so you can steal it later. Two reliable sources of toys are dresser tops and wastebaskets. There are several types of cat toys.
Bright shiny things like keys, brooches, or coins should be hidden so that the other cat(s) or humans can't play with them. They are generally good for playing hockey with on uncarpeted floors.
Dangly and/or string-like things such as shoelaces, cords, gold chains, and dental floss also make excellent toys. They are favorites of humans who like to drag them across the floor for us to pounce on. When a string is dragged under a newspaper or throw rug, it magically becomes the Paper/Rug Mouse and should be killed at all costs. Take care, though. Humans are sneaky and will try to make you lose your Dignity.
** PAPER BAGS: within paper bags dwell the Bag Mice. They are small and camouflaged to be the same color as the bag, so they are hard to see. But you can easily hear the crinkling noises they make as they scurry around the bag. Anything, up to and including shredding the bag, can be done to kill them. Note: any other cat you may find in a bag hunting for Bag Mice is fair game for a Sneak Attack, which will usually result in a great Tag match.
** FOOD: In order to get the energy to sleep, play, and hamper, a cat must eat. Eating, however, is only half the fun. The other half is getting the food. Cats have two ways to obtain food: convincing a human you are starving to death and must be fed *NOW*; and hunting for it oneself. The following are guidelines for getting fed.
a) When the humans are eating, make sure you leave the tip of your tail in their dishes when they are not looking.
b) Never eat food from your own bowl if you can steal some from the table.
c) Never drink from your own water bowl if a human's glass is full enough to drink from.
d) Should you catch something of your own outside, it is only polite to attempt to get to know it. Be insistent--your food will usually not be so polite and try to leave.
e) Table scraps are delicacies with which the humans are unfortunately unwilling to readily part. It is beneath the Dignity of a cat to beg outright for food as lower forms of life such as dogs will, but several techniques exist for ensuring that the humans don't forget you exist. These include, but are not limited to: jumping onto the lap of the "softest" human and purring loudly; lying down in the doorway between the dining room and the kitchen, the Direct Stare, and twining around people's legs as they sit and eat while meowing plaintively.
** SLEEPING: As mentioned above, in order to have enough energy for playing, a cat must get plenty of sleep. It is generally not difficult to find a comfortable place to curl up. Any place a human likes to sit is good, especially if it contrasts with your fur color.
If it's in a sunbeam or near a heating duct or radiator, so much the better. Of course, good places also exist outdoors, but have the disadvantages of being seasonal and dependent on current and previous weather conditions such as rain. Open windows are a good compromise.
** SCRATCHING POSTS: It is advised that cats use any scratching post the humans may provide. They are very protective of what they think is their property and will object strongly if they catch you sharpening your claws on it. Being sneaky and doing it when they aren't around won't help, as they are very observant. If you are an outdoor kitty, trees are good. Sharpening your claws on a human is a definite no-no!
** HUMANS: Humans have three primary functions: to feed us, to play with and give attention to us, and to clean the litter box. It is important to maintain one's Dignity when around humans so that they will not forget who is the master of the house. Humans need to know basic rules. They can be taught if you start early and are consistent.
You will then have a smooth-running household.

1:36 PM - A Cat's Bedtime Prayer
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray this cushy life to keep.
I pray for toys that look like mice,
And some cushions, soft and nice.
For grocery bags where I can hide,
Just like a tiger, crouched inside!
I pray for gourmet kitty snacks,
And someone nice to scratch my back.
For window sills all warm and bright,
And shadows to explore at night.
I pray I'll always stay real cool,
And keep the secret feline rule.
To NEVER tell the humans that,
This world is really ruled by cats!

1:25 PM - A Cat's Perspective
Human beings are large, clumsy animals with extremely poor night vision that make a lot of noise. However, they live in weather-proof homes, and are easily trained.
CHOOSING YOUR HUMAN:
Humans don't realize this, but we choose which humans to live with, and which ones to avoid. Avoid humans who start sneezing when we get close. They are allergic to us. Also avoid ones that try and kick us. A good human will bend down and reach out to scratch an ear and start saying something stupid like "nice kitty kitty." The trick is to get inside the human's home to see if they have a suitable environment for one of our superior species.
GETTING CARRIED AROUND:
While walking to one's destination is preferable, it is nevertheless fun to be picked up and carried around by a human, because this provides a much loftier view of things. Female humans are more likely to pick you up. They will try and scratch your belly, so arch your back and they will reach under you. For some reason, most humans instinctively pick us up at that point.
GETTING FED ON TIME:
Humans are somewhat erratic in their eating habits, but this must not be allowed to conflict with our getting fed exactly on time every day. Pick a time, usually at 5 in the morning, and insist on being fed. Vocalize your hunger, and if necessary, wake the human up. Initially, the human will throw you outside, thinking you've received a call from Nature. But in a week or two they will catch on and get the food out on time.
GETTING THE RIGHT FOOD:
Unfortunately modern humans are inept at hunting, thus they purchase all their food. Generally, they buy things in cans, bags or boxes to feed us. They should eat this stuff. As long as you have an adequate supply of naturally obtained food (i.e. tasty little mice) the appropriate training regime is to walk up to the bowl of this awful processed food, sniff at it, walk around the bowl a few times, and then decamp to your favorite perch for a nice little nap. A few days of this, and the human begins to feel guilty about you starving. Eventually they will produce something moderately edible. If, by chance, something really good turns up, make sure you let the human know this is preferred to the dry crunchy stuff.
NAPPING SITES:
Human dwellings are just full of nice little places to nap, such as window sills, the tops of dressers, inside closets, under couches, whatever. Many of these places, however, will initially be places the human thinks they have control over. You must disabuse them of this territoriality as soon as possible. Typically, if the human finds you in a place they think is theirs, they will grab you and toss you. An exciting moment of flying through the air. Go back. After awhile the human will mutter "stupid kitty," and leave you alone.
OTHER CATS:
Some humans are excessively fond of our companionship, and thus attempt to bring more than one of us into their home. Remember, first one inside is king (or queen). Humans don't like the sound of our displeasure being voiced at an intruder, but they will rarely do anything about it. It is nice to have a few companions around, provided the human increases the food supply.
THE LITTER BOX:
Most humans are fairly conscientious about cleaning out the litter box with adequate frequency. However, some humans will accidentally lock us in a room, or forget to clean the litter box often enough. We all know what we do to the human on that occasion, don't we.
GIFTS:
Humans don't think they are animals, so they don't understand gifts. Don't bother. Keep the mouse for yourself.
EXPRESSING AFFECTION:
The deal is we get a free place to live that is dry and warm, and adequate food, in exchange for once in a while recognizing the human exists and letting it touch us. Humans like to hear us purr, because they think that is our way of saying we're happy. They have no idea. Don't get too stand-off-ish as the human will not understand, and become anxious. A calm human is a reliable human when it comes to dinner.
NAMING:
Humans immediately give us stupid little names. If you don't like the name, act deaf. Once they pick a name you like, then respond. If the human is really nice to you, and understands our language, then tell them your true name.
CONCLUSION:
Humans are much easier to train, then, for example, their stupid dogs.

2:49 PM - Were you naughty? Were you nice? Does it matter?
Current mood:  bouncy
Twas a Night Before Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas Old Santa was pissed.
He cussed at the elves and threw down his list.
Miserable little brats, ungrateful little jerks.
I have good mind to scrap the whole works.
I've busted my ass for damn near a year.
Instead of "Thanks Santa" - what do I hear?
The old lady bitches cause I work late at night.
The elves want more money - The reindeer all fight.
Rudolph got drunk and goosed all the maids.
Donner is pregnant and Vixen has AIDS.
And just when I thought that things would get better.
Those assholes from IRS sent me a letter.
They say I owe taxes - if that ain't damn funny.
Who the hell ever sent Santa Clause any money.
And the kids these days - they all are the pits.
They want the impossible ... Those mean little sh**s.
I spent a whole year making wagons and sleds
Assembling dolls ... Their arms, legs and heads.
I made a ton of yo yo's - No request for them.
They want computers and robots, they think I'm IBM!
If you think that's bad, just picture this:
Try holding those brats with their pants full of piss.
They pull on my nose - they grab at my beard
And if I don't smile, the parents think I'm weird.
Flying through the air, dodging the trees,
Falling down chimneys and skinning my knees.
I'm quitting this job - there's just no enjoyment
I'll sit on my fat ass and draw unemployment.
There's no Christmas this year. Now you know the reason:
I found me a blonde - I'm going SOUTH for the season!
Love, St. Nick

9:17 AM - Ok this pisses me off
Current mood:  pissed off
*Some people live because it's illegal to kill them.*
Please click this for more information ^
I swear it's really messed up a poor little cat has to stay in a cage, because the adoption agency is afraid to let it leave. They're afraid to adopt it out because it's a black cat and it's Halloween. Because some sick bastard out there wants to either pull some prank and hurt it, or some other sicko wants to sacrifice it. I've got a little bit of information for anyone wanting to try either of these things in my close proximity. Actually it's more of a warning. A dare! Try it! Please let me see you be that damn stupid! I have cats in my home, and yes, one would fall victim to these things that are done. You wanna see her? Look at her wrong! I want you to!

I'm sure that those of you that have known me for a while have noticed the change in my board's appearance. The ones that haven't certainly have noticed my love of felines. Well there's a certain species of cat covering my board and for those that are wondering why, I'm paying $2,000.00 for a kitten.

3:58 PM - Ok I'm tired of this Holy War BS.
burn the witches, burn the witches, don't take time to sew your stitches
burn the witches, burn the witches
good is the thing that you favor, evil is your sour flavor
you cannot sedate all the things you hate
burn the bridges, burn the bridges, don't take time to sew your stitches
burn the bridges, burn the bridges
good is the thing that you favor, evil is your sour flavor
i don't need your hate, i decide my fate
you cannot sedate all the things you hate
There's a reason I posted the lyrics to this song in this blog. I'm so sick of Christians trying to tell me I need to learn about Jesus Christ. O.k. I'm wiccan. They look and see the pentacle around my neck and with no knowledge whatsoever of it's meaning say it's Satanic. I'm tired of being called a Satan Worshipper. It's hard to worship something you don't believe in the freaking existance of. They want to start on me because of my pentacle. O.k. if you've got a problem with it, atleast learn it's name. Quit calling it simply a five pointed star. They want to start on symbols being evil? O.K. let's do this! I'm ready for it! I'm not wearing a freaking murder weapon around my neck and saying I preach peace. That's right I called it what it was used for a murder weapon. If Jesus Christ was kille with a Rifle would the wear that around their necks? Would guns have restrictions? How many people were killed with pentacles? NONE! It's simply the five elements that make us all up. the circle is the circle of life. Each point is a different element. the top one is Spirituality, or the spirit of man whichever you want to call it. Where is that harmful? Then going clock wiseyou have the next point. It's air, what's the harm in that? going to the next point you have Earth. Is there a problem with earth? You're standing on it. The next one fire. There's still nothing harmful about the element itself. The last element and last point is water. Now you can't live without these elements. I can live without a weapon used to kill a man for his teachings.
The next thing they want to say to me is you need to read The Bible. Done it. It's a book like any other book. it also has so many contradictios in it that there is no way you can honestly say you live by it. I know I live in what is known as "The Bible Belt" but I don't care. There are a lot more than one religion in this world. You can correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't one of the things this country was founded on "Freedom Of Religion" ? If that is so, then why are you persecuted by society if they find out or even suspect you are anything but a Christian? I don't have any problem with anyone's religion. it's their choice, but Christians have been trying to take over the entire world every since their beginning. Guess what Christians, there are a lot of religions, that are still practiced today, a whole lot older than Christianity! You really need to look at one of the things that are taught to you. Judge not lest ye be judged.
You say that you preach peace. How many wars have been fought over the fact that someone wasn't Christian? Too many.
The Wiccan Rede has one of it's main rules I'll put here now. Do what Ye will yet harm none, except in defense.
You also want to start arguments about the use of Magick. All religions use a form of Magick. If there was no magick there would be nothing to believe in. Think about it the miracles performed by your leader, Jesus Christ. They were magick. You have evangelists on TV touching people "You are healed" whether those are real or staged there's magick involved. getting inside people's heads and making them believe . the most dangerous kind of magick!

11:24 AM - Auras
Current mood: awake
Orange Auras
Physical Color
Navel Chakra (2nd)
This is the color of the thrill seeker. Rock climbers, fire fighters and those who take their life in their hands for fun an entertainment- these are all examples of the orange aura. Oranges very much are into things that could very well kill them. If it didn't kill them the first time, it obviously wasn't challenging enough. We'll try harder next time, only this time we'll take away anything that might be safe. It's these challenging and life threatening tasks that rock the words of the orange aura people. Mental challenges hold no place in the world of the orange. Give them physical and they will be happy.
An orange is independent, resourceful, self-confident and of course risk takers. Oranges have a tendency to be egotistical and self-centered/absorbed. If it's something they want to do, they don't care how it affects those around them. This can be maddening for those who live around an orange. Often you will not find an orange person in a committed relationship, as mostly it holds no interest for them. Their need for self-satisfaction is too great to be held in one place with one person. They also have a tendency not to be able to show affection, compassion and comparing easily.
Orange people enjoy life and physical excitement. Take that away and you'll have an unhappy person. It's orange's overall atmosphere that frequently makes them very attractive to people. An orange will never be at loss for a date, their magnetism is very alluring. Don't restrict an orange. They are forever finding new ways to push the limits.
What color is yours?

7:34 AM - The true nature of the beast you know as Rabid
Strengths:
Ambitious, courageous, creative, faithful, generous, honorable, humorous, open-minded, organized, powerful, self-aware, resolute
Weaknesses:
Arrogant, authoritarian, egocentric, exaggerating, intolerant, jealous -narcissistic, proud, hypersensitive, vain
Leo, the fifth sign of the zodiac, is the sign of generosity and nobility. It stands for self-expression and the unfolding of the internal power principle. Generous and self-aware, you are truly king of the jungle. The Sun defines the dominant traits of your personality and your basic character. This makes you a self-assured, magnanimous, and buoyant person who enjoys being the center of attention, and others often see you as invincible, because your courage and charisma are so impressive.
Rabid, you are the second of the fire signs, which makes you a strong-willed and courageous individual, with great leadership qualities. Your aura radiates magnetism and dignity like the rays around the sun.
You rule the fifth house of the horoscope, which is the area associated with pleasure, creativity, and play. Your desire to live out your emotions is powerful, and you constantly seek new ways of self-expression. The mode of a Leo is fixed, which means that you are passive in your need for admiration, expecting others to naturally notice and approach you. You enjoy stability and comfort, and are generous in sharing it with others.

Leo Rising, you present yourself with dignity, energy, and will. You are able to engage and fascinate people by displaying an incredible amount of self-assurance, and an exquisite sense of courteousness. In some cases, Rabid, you may even enter into and dominate a situation without being invited, and once you are center stage, you begin your show, very attentive to the audience's applause. Your creativity, mixed with a touch of drama, usually gets you the attention you want, because you strive on the vital energy you receive through recognition and admiration. Sometimes, when you are alone, you turn to the mirror admiring and studying yourself, wondering how others see and think of you.
You can definitely be considered a force of nature, Rabid, because you never seem to run out of energy. You enjoy a practically indestructible confidence in yourself, which allows you to accomplish great things. When you use your powers for good, you are as generous, humane, open-minded, and faithful as can be, and enjoy sharing your experience with others. You are supportive, loyal, and benevolent, which is the reason why people love and respect you. However, when you use your powers for selfish reasons, your intense personality may suffer from arrogance, autocratic pride, egocentrism, and extreme narcissism.

Your Life-Path number is probably the most influential numerological aspect to be considered and represents who you are at the time of birth. It indicates specific traits and will likely be active and influential throughout your lifetime. It is the overall number that determines much of what will be important to you and how you will handle things as they come.
THREE, your life is likely to be characterized by the undying need for expression. This can take the form in conversation but also in the arts. Typically, the THREE has an above-average ability in some art form. This can encompass painting, interior decorating, crafts, writing, music, drama, or all of the above. You are an original and creative thinker, and tend to dominate your circles intellectually. With the elegance of a dancer, you swing back and forth from one idea to another, with wit and eloquence. You also have the power to visualize your ideas, and express them scientifically. Since you identify yourself with your ideas, Rabid, your most dynamic form of expression is intellectual.
You are sprightly and versatile, and usually end up being the life of every party. Mostly it is you, who gets up on the table and entertains everyone with an improvised one-man show. You feel most alive if you have an audience, are the center of attention, and get an immediate reaction to your mental and verbal output.

The Dog's loyalty and sense of smell make him a sure friend with brilliant intuition. You are very human and warm and people count on that. You advance in life with a logic that is materialistic and you have a high sense of honor. Injustice makes your fur stand on end and you fight to the end against dishonesty and oppression.
Those who get in your way should be careful: your bite is deep and your bark thunderous. Willfully incisive, your cynicism is sharp and constantly fed by your pessimistic nature. This lucid realism allows you to rise quickly from your gloom. Nothing surprises you and certainly not worst-case scenarios. Your confidence in the goodness of men is relative and you have a tendency to distrust people that you don't know. But if someone conquers your heart, you are a great friend. You love to frolic in the countryside, spend an evening by the fire, and have your nose in a book.
A philosopher and discreet, you don't think that you can change society. To protect yourself from disappointment, you choose your close friends with care after having tested them in the smallest details. In this closed universe where affection reigns, you gladly show yourself as a nutty, eccentric companion that is fun to be around. Your fault: As an introverted Dog, you are on the defensive a little too much. |
