Pet psychic in spotlight on 'Oprah'
after helping find windswept Chihuahua*
The horse galloped out of the barn as soon as it saw her, but Lorrie the Pet Psychic didn't understand why. As the Holly-based seer made her way along the stalls, visiting the other animals, the rancher slipped away -- and the horse came back and started following her around.
Again, Lorrie was puzzled.
Then, the horse began to communicate with her, explaining that it was being abused by the owner. She, in turn, shared the mare's painful story with people who could help.
That rescue didn't catapult Lorrie -- who declines to use her last name -- into the spotlight (do you suppose there's a reason for that?), like her help finding a 5-pound Chihuahua swept away by the strong winds that battered the region last month, but it's a story that stands out amid her decades-long career.
"From my experience, they do communicate in English or through pictures," she explained Wednesday. (Don't tell me: The first thing the Chihuahua said was "I should like Taco Bell"?) "Sometimes, I hold gemstones and crystals. I don't use the tarot cards or crystal balls."
If we could suggest a generalizable rule from this: It's OK to talk to Local People who have been on Oprah. You can take them at their word when they say they talk to animals. But when they say the animals talk back, you need at least a little bit of attribution. Preferably to the animals themselves.
* No it wasn't. "Windswept" means swept by the wind. That's not the same thing as swept away by the wind.

Was that horse loose in the barn?
Sorry... It's the only detail I might get a real answer on (though not from you).
Was the Chihuahua sending out psychic distress yelps?
Jeepers...
To Ridger,
i think on the part of the chihuahua, animals do "communicate" and as this is the job of the pet psychic to understand and listen to animals, the chihuahua was rescued.
This is a great story, at first I didn't have a clear grasp at the trivial news then I remember that animals do have a way of communicating with their owners.
