Whatever happened to the Pet Psychic? You know the one I am talking about, the Pet Psychic that debuted her abilities a few years ago on Animal Planet or Discovery Channel or some other network that was struggling for interesting programming (maybe it was A&E). Whether you remember her or not most likely does not affect your life in any way whatsoever, but the more interesting thought resides in the question of whose lives did she affect, and how are they now? How is Fluffy doing after she was finally able to communicate her frustrations to her loving owner via the powers of the Pet Psychic? Or, how is Skipper the pony (No, I did not go back and research the names of the animals that were in the episodes.) who just wanted his mane to be brushed more? Is he getting that relaxing rub that he desired so desperately? In the spirit of hope for the betterment of humanity/nature, I hope that Fluffy’s and Skipper’s owners followed through with their pets’ desires and relieved them of their past frustrations.
A bigger question, however, is where the hell is the Pet Psychic now? Her show was cancelled, contrary to everyone’s expectations for tremendous success, and now we have no idea where she could be. What about all of our pet’s issues? Surely she must have an emergency clinic in Buffalo, New York where you can bring your pets to find out what is really going on with their strange urination patterns. Maybe she is trying to revitalize her television career, auditioning for shows like The Real World, Jersey Shore, or Extreme Home Makeover. I feel like Ty and the gang might need the help of a pet psychic so that before they decide on whether the family deserves a new house or not, they could send her to scope out the neighborhood to find the alley-cats and hear the truth about the family.
It just seems sad to me that such a metaphysical and supernatural gifting that the Pet Psychic possesses could be going to such a tragic waste. Forget people like Morgan Freeman to be your narrator for the newest and most elaborate nature film, let’s get someone who can tell me what the dolphin thinks about how his blow-hole looks on camera rather than how he uses it.

What seems so devastating to me is the authentic desire on the part of the pet owner to experience a true connections with another human being via the "reading". On the video its almost like a weird eroticized connection between two woman that know they're very lonely and troubled. Or to put in other terms, "exiled". Exiled from a world that communicates directly with another(human being). This world is mediated through a weird unspoken connection (the animal itself), and how they position themselves towards it tells you a lot about the state of their affections. If they both act appropriately and say the right things-things that fulfill the fantasy of their own thoughts towards the animal-then there is a connection.
That's why psychic bother me I guess. They seem really adept at telling you what you want to hear without you really knowing it.
Sorry for the ramble. Glad your writing again.

I honestly couldn't finish watch the video, I think it's too disturbing, especially the part about the bottle. It's felt to me like they both were suffering from some kind of hysteria, especially the owner. That is a very good point Caleb brings up.
