Have you ever had a cat psychic for a problem with your cat? I have\u2014but that\u2019s another \"\"story for another time. I heard of this same animal psychic counseling a dog in this area. The gal has several animals and one of her small dogs was acting up or sad or something. So she called the psychic, who told the dog owner that the dog was upset about a scarf. The psychic was confused, but said, that the dog had told her all the other dogs get scarves, but not him and he\u2019s angry. He wants a scarf, too.<\/p>\n

Turns out that a groomer comes in and grooms the dogs once a month or so and, for some reason, the groomer ties doggie bandanas around the necks of all the other dogs\u2014but not this one small dog. Now isn\u2019t that something? Makes you look at your dog in a little different light, doesn\u2019t it? Do they really get their feelings hurt that easily?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
