Did you know there are hotels, libraries and other public places known for pet ghosts?

Dusty’s book has a list if you want to travel on the creepy side. Actually these ghosts leave the humans with a feeling of good will and happiness. These aren’t scary stories just ghost stories even though some pets appear with no head like Deborah’s dog that was seen as a ghost by a six-year-old boy and no one else. And some come back like Rudi in the night with a message of warning, head only; is it a dream, a ghost? Depends on the message and was Rudi dead at the time he appeared head only with a lot to say? Dusty tells you what to look for and how to notice a pet ghost. They often come to say good-bye shortly after passing but it might be the smell or sound and not the sight that you get explains Dusty who is collecting more pet ghost stories at http://www.dustyrainbolt.com/

Have you ever wondered if all cats are born with blue eyes? Or How hot does it get in a closed car on a summer day and how fast does it heat up? These answers plus a recipe for home made weed killer and homemade flea spray are at this party with Deborah Wolfe and her guest, Joan Miller Vice President of the Cat Fanciers’ Association & All breed Judge, joins Deborah to talk about CatsCenterstage.org a website made for lovers of every type of cat from pet pedigreed to feral and all the many ‘cat-next-door’ types. For the first time ever the website is designed to represent and work for those who love pedigreed, feral and random cats and it offers a huge medical database to help cat owners figure out what to ask their own Vets when their cats are sick. There are games and quizzes for kids and grownups, information, stories, photos and the future is wherever you want it to go with this site which will be growing and evolving to meet the needs of those who post.

Deborah asks Joan to contrast cats to dogs a few times during the show comparing the distance between the pets we have know and their wild ancestors in both species. What you see is often what you get when it comes to mutts but with cats you really can’t judge a mixed cat by its cover. Deborah offers up some of her own experience with cats gone feral and cats doing tricks. Did you know that cats do agility (obstacle style) courses like horses, dogs and humans? No leash, no food; just something fun to chase and the cat dives through tunnels, clears hurdles and jumps for the love of racing. Check it out at CatsCenterstage.org and have some fun in the catnip section while you are there. Maybe you think you know a lot about cats; test yourself with the quiz that will challenge you- this show will inform you.

Tim Link joins the party to talk about animals and how they think and communicate with thoughts. He can read your pets. Deborah asks him if they think in words or pictures or something else and he explains. Plus Tim does some readings for pet life radio listeners who emailed photos and questions.

Tim does a special reading for Deborah and connects with Squeak the blue heeler who died June 2009. Find out what Tim receives from pets that are no longer alive.

Tim also shares lighter readings including a message from Thump who wants his owners to know that yogurt is okay but Thump wants meat and actually any scraps of any kind; He loves the variety and the surprise. Tim explains how all of us can send picture messages to our animals when we want to give them commands or make requests. At first Deborah was somewhat sceptical but since the show was made she has enjoyed amazing results from coupling commands and wishes with visual messages sent on purpose; the cats come quicker and are more polite. Sadie isn’t picking on Peekaboo much anymore and has become relaxed with all the other cats since Tim sent her a message. Check out this party and you’ll learn how to send messages to your pets. It is very easy and you’ll see results immediately.

The party gets started with a party joke as Deborah reads a funny paragraph about dog poop from the book, ‘A Year in Merde’ by Stephen Clarke. A whole lot of goldens, labs and mixes of the two are coming to the party and they are all so well behaved walking on their harnesses and laying down politely without raiding the buffet; these aren’t the rude Labs and Goldens we often see counter-surfing and begging -- they must be well trained ever so polite Guide Dogs. Barry Dunner explains what its like to walk the blindfold walk with only a seeing eye dog for eyes. And Deborah asks what exactly Autism support dogs do for the kids they serve.

Did you know the dog stops the child from rocking and helps in ways besides keeping the child from running away? Barry brings touching stories about the impact of the dogs he’s seen trained to serve. It costs $35,000 to train a Seeing Eye dog and the blind person pays nothing, but there is a wait list and demand is high. Barry and Deborah discuss the training, placement and the effect of getting a dog placed; it’s a ripple and everyone wins! You can find out more about Guide Dogs at www.bcguidedog.com
