Chihuahua mistaken for sausage at family barbecue

After an "accident" at a family's barbecue Smokey the 12 weeks old chihuahua got a fork stuck in it's head. The little critter fled into the forest and didn't return after 2 days. The owner brought the puppy immediately to the local vet. There they shaved it's head and pulled the fork right out, it took less than 30 seconds. Luckily Smokey is now doing fine, his right eye has some problems, they expect that in time he will recuperate.

Pet psychic Fitzpatrick: “Darling, they are deliriously happy.”

As read in the Houston Chronicle:

“I thought everybody could do it,” said Fitzpatrick. “It was as natural as breathing.”

"It wasn’t until she got older that she realized that her gift, which she believes was passed down from her grandmother, was unique".

"Thanks to Fitzpatrick, “speaking animal” is less freakish and weird for other animal communicators, according to Kim Shotola, who founded a holistic animal wellness organization called The Lightfoot Way 2½ years ago".

Consultations: Private phone consultations, $300 for 30 minutes, can be booked at sonyafitzpatrick.com.
