The Year of the Rat

I am a Wood Monkey.

I’m a sheep/goat

I am a monkey, which doesn't surprise me; I am small and have to jump up on the kitchen base units to reach things in the top cupboards; so monkey is quite apt really!

There's always been something of the farmyard about me
Nice to know you're always happy! They often say down on the farm; "happy as a pig in something or other!

I'm a Rat, and so is one of my sons.

People born in the Year of the Rat are characterised as smart, resourceful and quick-witted. They have great imaginations and make sharp observations, with the ability to take advantage of several opportunities.
Blimey Maw!; Are you still opening Chinese Christmas crackers?
You can team up with Ann next year and be a pair of oxen; I wonder what colour then?

Another 1954 Horse here. Our best match is a Goat, worse a Rat.

And our best hours are 11.00 - 13.00 when horses 'gallop and prance joyfully in the fields'

Don’t be rude Rufus

Christmas crackers, Ann, colour, oxen?
What are you talking about, or just being snitty again?

I’m a rat too?

What are you talking about, or just being snitty again

Oh dear Maw! You've got the wrong end of the stick again! Annsixty says she's an Ox, next year is Year of the Ox, therefore you two become Oxen, You've just told us you are expected to wear red undies for the rat, so what colour for the Ox? Or is that cracker still in the box?

Unfortunately the Chinese don't recognise Year of the Donkey, but they do revere their elders and I'm proud to say my underwear is always virgin white!
Happy Now?
OoRoo from a lovely Australia Day.

of course I don’t become an ox Rufus in the Year of the Ox, your Chinese Zodiac sign is dictated by the year of your birth in a 12 year cycle.
So no, not happy now. It was a fatuous comment and unnecessary except to constitute another sideswipe.

I think red underwear could have a very uplifting effect on the psche.
Definitely give it a go!!

(I'm a rabbit.)

I'm a rat, but, like others, scared of the four legged type. I didn't know we're supposed to wear red underwear! How exciting. My Rat year is beginning well, I hope other Rats have a fantastic year.

Mine says I am a goat. Calm, gentle and sympathetic. Someone has got it so wrong, never been calm, gentle...possibly......sympathetic...that would be a huge no

I am a monkey.

I’m proud to be a horse

Yes I'm a rat too!

Thank you Urmstongran I loved reading your note as I too was born in 1954. I too have niggling health issues and have been told by my doctor to listen to my body and slow down. How interesting.

I am a Rat too. Never let it hold me back!

I now have a good excuse to buy some red knickers.

I am a monkey

My dad was a rat, and a lovely one too, I’m a rooster and I’m a typically one in every way

Typical

I am a dog married to a monkey and our children are a rooster and a pig.
