Lady will speak to your pets for $600/hr

Call us frugal on this one, but paying $600 for an hour long phone conversation with a “pet psychic” seems like a waste of money. Anybody who watches South Park has a pretty good idea of how most of these psychics work.

The same logic can be applied to “pet psychics.” Let’s look at the three examples from the YouTube clip.
1. She talks to the dog and finds out it’s hungry. Way to go Sherlock.

2. While talking to the owner, she says “the dog wants to go to work with you” the owner replies with “that was like two three years ago” – from there it’s pretty easy to start up conversation and eat up those phone minutes.

3. The third time she did a personal meeting, which I bet is much easier than a phone reading. Sonya reads that the dog was “away from the owner.” Not only is that an easy guess for any pet, but in this case the dog owner is sitting in a empty house, likely newly moved into. I think the “psychic” assumed the dog was under the care of somebody else during the transition and got lucky that the owner had another story to help back up the claim.

    She should have listened to Grammy. I can talk to animals too, just they look at me like total dopes, and then wander off. Jeff, I got an animal related story for you. “Neptune’s Touch-Sport Massages For Your Equine Athlete”. I saw this on the side of a truck, and just burst out laughing. Obviously some smart guy realized he could get paid to rub a horse’s ass.

    About Me

    I was born and raised in Peterborough Ontario, from there I've moved to London, Banff, Victoria and finally Qualicum Beach - I am confident I have found the best place in Canada to settle. I don't consider myself a writer, I only play one on the Internet - I started blogging years ago for my now-defunct website ThrowawayyourTV.com - Since then I've blogged for AOL and worked as a manager/trainer at Mahalo.com assisting writers in learning the ropes of Internet Research and web-writing. Away from the computer I work as a pay-on-call Firefighter here in town.
