Since I my last post on this website, a lot has happened in the world of Gracie. She has started her Wednesday night training classes and those have been going well! Of course, she really does not respond well if you do not have a treat to reward her with, but eventually she will be able to do everything that she has learned without needing the positive reinforcement. The only thing that I do not like is that my mom is the only one taking the class with her. However, this is not too big of a deal due to...

Last time, we heard from Terri Jay, professional pet psychic. This week, she tells us some more about her work. Terri does readings for humans as well as pets, and says there are definitely differences between the two. You might think animals would be harder to reach than people, but she says, "Pets are easier and never in denial of what the issue is.

Is it possible to communicate with pets psychically? Even to help them this way? Many owners would be skeptical. But Terri Jay, a psychic who works with animals as well as people, says, "I don't worry about proving to skeptics that this is possible. I have so many people who believe in what I do . . . I believe that what someone thinks about me or my work is truly none of my business." Terri is typically consulted for pets that have health, behavior, or performance problems. Owners also call her when they're considering getting another pet and wondering...

Pets and Grief: Part II

General Animals
Last week, we looked at the question of whether pets feel grief when another pet dies, and what we can do about it. There are no answers that fit all pets -- like humans, they're all different, and some show grief while others don't. If they do, the best thing an owner can do for them is provide a very stable and loving environment.
