Chinese Zodiac: The Dog

Chinese Zodiac: The Dog Posted by Transparent Language on Feb 1, 2009 in Uncategorized

Hello Readers!

Today’s topic is the Dog.

People born in the year of the 狗 (dog) are rather 刚直 (upright and outspoken), possess notable 胆力 (guts/gall), and are rather 机敏 (agile and/or witty). They are usually 保守 (conservative) and 谨慎 (prudent), which wins the approval of their 领导 (leaders) at their 单位 (job position). Moreover, they have a strong 正义感 (sense of justice). One thing for the Dog to pay attention to is his/her 表达能力 (expressive ability), as Dogs have difficulty clearly expressing their emotions. Famous Dog people include Ben Franklin, Cher, Tommy Lee Jones, and Kevin Bacon.

Years of the Dog: 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, and 2030.

Loyal is the key word I would give the dog. They are the most loyal of the Chinese signs.

Wonderful blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Bless you!

  @Tabetha Fizer WordPress is great for beginners because it’s free and you don’t need to know any code. Mess around with free themes and plugins to get the look you want. I manage this blog for the company and started my own focused solely on traveling and I put it together on WP without any HTML or coding knowledge. Check it out if you like!
