Hi! I am a dog, born in 1994. Can anyone explain to me how the Chinese people came to use the twelve animals in their yearly calendar?

A round includes 12 years, referring to 12 animals. This year is 2008,the year of rat. Then, 2009 is ox, 2010 is tiger. The order is rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog and pig. The first year of each round is rat. So, the calender follows that order. You were born in 1994, the year of dog. When you were 12 years old, it's 2006, also a year of dog. Have you got it? Hope you write back.
