Thank you Dr. Kremmerer, this statement sums it up for me.
 
I believe many of us that own pets have the ability to be able to
communicate with them.
 
I know many times I can look in my pets eyes, cats, birds, ferrets, even
my fish, and I believe I can tell what they are thinking, and this is
based on their behavior, the way their eyes look, and just their sense if
*being*...it is simply a matter of observing our pets emotions, and
paying attention to their needs on a daily basis., and truly *knowing*
our pets.
 
I am sorry to say, and I certainly don't want to hurt anyone's feelings
here, this is NOT my intent, I feel this way about anyone that states
they have the ability to communicate to pets, I am not focusing on a
certain individual that happens to be here at the FML.
 
I just don't feel that one single person can have more of an ability to
*talk* to our pets, than what we already have within ourselves.  For
some, it is entertaining to seek a *outside* opinion, by contacting an
animal communicator...IMO their is nothing wrong with this, as long as
it is used for entertainment purposes only.
 
I do believe that some folks may be a little bit more empathetic when it
comes to animals wants and needs, but I agree, "there is nothing
paranormal about it."
 
Again, thanks Dr. Kremmerer!
