Unfortunately, her breed has been around for a while. Let's face it, if JE and Sylvia sell, why not a pet psychic? It's about viewers and ratings. This will get those. Amazing that an intelligent species would actually speak to that anyway.

There is no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. It underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've known. Sagan

Trish,
I saw this on the Weekly World News edition on sale at Jewel. It was so funny I almost bought it for the comedic effect alone.

Anyone who is dumb and has a dog and a dollar will soon end up with only the dog.
The sad thing is that this hawg wash gets serious air time.

At least it didn't begin with "Dear Viewer,"

It didn't begin with "Dear" anything. It was just another form letter.
What pisses me off is that my husband and I really do enjoy the AP channel. (Now he wants a meer cat for a pet. Go figure). Anyway, I really torques me that this channel is starting to promote garbage like "Pet Psychic".
Animal behavior is facinating, and I'd really like to hear from experts, not some over-made-up doxy with delusions of bank accounts. What's even more sickening is that there are people who buy this stuff.
I could rant on, but there's a small dog attached to my foot. There could be blood in my future.

Lisa, I commend your effort in writing AP, but we all know that as long as the 'pet psychotic, er, psychic' retains a certain market share, she ain't goin' nowhere, Honey! It is nice to see your suspicions proven, though. Maybe, they can stick her in the same time slot as that Edwards guy on Sci-Fi. That way we'll have most of the whackos in the same place.

My child of somewhat skeptical nature also sent an e-mail to Animal Planet explaining that as a curious 11 yo she was more interested in animal behavior and medicine than animal psychic quakery.
She got the same letter Lisa did.
