Year of the Dog

I can't believe that today is the first day of the Year of the Dog. Happy New Year.

Why do dogs get a special year? The closest we get is the Year of the Tiger.

I say we overthrow the current system and institute our own Chinese zodiac years. The first year will be the Year of the Cat.

Other animals of which I am in favour include the Duck, the Turtle, the Whale, the Wombat and the Frog.

I am happy to keep the Year of the Horse and the Year of the Dragon.

What do you reckon?

*As always, please check out Cooper and Camilla who always have interesting things to say.

........ooooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooo........

Today was another warm day. I napped around, and even lied on my human's lap for a bit.

Then Devi came over and they went off to watch Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Luckily, they came back afterwards and I was given my dinner. My human told me about the movie and asked me why the lion (Aslan), and the cheetahs (or leopards) are on the side of good and the tigers are on the side of evil? Well, it was a long time since I read the book and I will have to wait for the movie on DVD before I can answer.



But my human told me that I would have been great in the movie. Lucy could have carried me around, and I could have actually talked to them in English instead of cat-speak meows. Hmmm, maybe we have an old wardrobe somewhere?

Not soon after, they went out again. Something about dinner and Peking duck. Thankfully my human came back not too late. There was not a catty bag for me (as usual).
