Okay, a couple more, then I REALLY have to go!

A leap year baby, how cool! That makes Sable a Pisces, another water sign. If Sable were human, she would pick up every stray in the neighborhood, bring them home, and give up her spot on the sofa so they could be comfortable. Pisces sometimes lose themselves in their struggle to make sure everyone else is taken care of. This one appreciates the arts but doesn't necessarily make a good artist. Perhaps Sable would prefer to watch YOU dance? They are not said to be very hard workers but will work at whatever pleases them.
As for Spook (I am assuming a white boxer?) he is a Leo. (July 24 - August 23) Leos are a fire sign and are ruled by the sun. I am curious if Sable and Spook shared a house which one would be dominant. While the Leo is a natural ruler, the Pisces water might repeatedly attempt to douse the fire. Could be interesting... I think in general, Leo's like to be the center of attention. After all, the Sun is the center of the universe. The good side of that is that they have a shining personality and are a lot of fun to be around.

See more above on the Leo in my reply to Brooklyn Dan. You may have to work a little harder to be the Alpha dog with a Leo around.

Aaahh, the Virgo. Vera carries the symbol of the virgin. Whatever that means to a dog is beyond me. Virgo's are very clean. If she could learn to use a lint brush she would probably clean up her own hair off the furniture! She might lay for hours just cleaning herself, like a cat. Or maybe she walks on her tip-toes in the mud with a disgusted look on her face when she simply has to answer nature's call on a rainy day. Maybe you don't have to clean the scattered kibble from floor around her bowl like the rest of us do because, of course, she does that herself. Does she like her baths?
They are said to be loners. That hasn't been my personal experience with my Virgo friends though. They do like to keep a side of themselves hidden. They like to believe they are mysterious and intriguing. It's how they get people to draw them out. They're great at a good game of 'hard to get'. I once had boyfriend that was a Virgo. Once I finally got him in my claws, he wasn't any fun anymore.(ha ha)
