The Old Soul
Even as a youngster, a Capricorn pet seems to have been here before. They watch new situations calmly, weigh things up and act only when they are ready. Ruled by Saturn, planet of time and patience, this is a pet with presence. They carry themselves with quiet dignity and seem faintly amused by the chaos of everybody else in the house.
Capricorns like structure, respect and a household that makes sense. They warm up steadily, and their loyalty is built to last. Beneath the serious face lives a dry, surprising sense of humor, and when a Capricorn finally decides to be silly, it is one of the best shows in town.
