In the beautiful city of Lake Oswego, Oregon, Rita Sandler is listening to a dog. But it’s not the bark she hears; Sandler claims to be a dog psychic, who may channel what our four-legged friends have to say and commune it to the owners.

This doggy style Dr Doolittle holds consultations once a month in West Linn, near Lake Oswego, and also has a Cable 11 show called “Wise Woman Way”, which airs once a week. The dog physic’s readings last when it comes to 10 minutes, cost owners US$15 (£7.50) and presently take place at “Bone-Jour GourMutt Bakery and Boutique”, a kind of dog cafe that makes the finest doggie treats and cakes “using only the most eminent quality ingredients” which have been approved by vets.

Local vet, Emily Stuart, is sceptical of Sandler’s abilities, though she sees the dog reading as harmless: “I have a hard time, as an individual with a scientific background, genuinely believing in the psychic stuff,” Stuart said. “I think the folks who do it are comparatively interpretive in reading how you word things, or your body language, and they make open-ended affirmations that you may read into.”

As one of Oregon’s most affluent areas, it’s perchance not surprising that there is a market for gourmet dog food, and in spite of the vet’s scepticism, demand is rising for Sandler’s readings, and dog owners in nearby areas are hoping that she may begin visiting homes and perchance hotels in Lake Oswego to give readings there in order to aid them too decipher their canine’s deepest thoughts.

Dog psychics are of course likewise found outside of Oregon, and a quick search on the internet reveals all manner of psychic pet readers, who assert to be capable to tell us what our dogs, cats, horses, even hamsters are thinking and feeling. However, there is a great deal of scepticism over whether it is actually possible to read the thoughts of animals. Many assert the practise to be a hoax; known as “cold reading” where the psychic throws out all manner of names and scenarios until a fellow member of the audience responds, and they then hone in on the ofttimes vulnerable individuals, telling them what they want to hear. Others humans veritably believe that such readings are genuine, and in truth are very thankful to be competent to recognise and grasp what their pets are saying.

Whether it’s in truth possible to read the minds of animals or not, is yet to be proved or disproved; however, it seems that there are a great deal of pet owners the world over who are more than willing to believe that the telepathic abilities of animal psychics, like Rita Sandler, is very much the authenti article.

The Original, Effortless Weed Puller: Grandpa’s Weeder. Grandpa’s pride and joy was his weed puller! A simple lever (and a sore back) was his inspiration for inventing this tool in 1913. He wanted a way to pull out weeds quickly and without apparent effort without bending, kneeling, or pulling and by golly, this tool did the trick! Using this tool was so effortless he was often seen using it in his Sunday best!

Works fine, skimpy handle
By Tool User
Worked outstanding for a while until the handle broke, Lifetime warranty is great. Finding who to contact with regards to the warranty, is not very easy. Once you call them, you find that they use an answering machine to field calls. Left a message, no response. Not so impressed. If you don’t break the handle or the lever, I guess that you are ok!
Here ya go, so you don’t have to search it out.

I love this tool!
By L. Harris
I purchased this tool for dandelions, and I have found it to be the best dandelion puller ever. It works on weeds that grow from a central point. By positioning the prongs over the very center of the dandelion, and shoving the tool into the ground with a little pedal provided for that purpose, you then give the tool a sideways twist, and the dandelion pops right out, kept within the prongs. It doesn’t matter if it’s in tall grass or not; the only thing that’s necessary is that it be centered over the weed. Of course, the ground has to be reasonably soft, but that would be unfeigned for any such tool.
This tool genuinely saves my back, because you don’t have to been over alot. Mind is sturdily made, and has lasted for various years of use. I would commend this tool to anyone!
