New NY Talk Show

Is the host of the show a puppy?

As the saying goes, "There is no better psychiatrist in the world than a puppy licking your face."

I think that this person may be talking about collectors, not pet owners who dress Fido and Fluffy in a fun outfit/collar for a stroll about the neigborhood.

And geez, guys... seeing a psychiatrist doesn't mean you're "nuts" or "crazy" or what-have-you. Being e're the product junkie, I'll quote my Philosophy bottle, "If you had a broken arm you'd seek help... the same attitude should be adopted towards mental health." (Granted, I question the amount of progress that can be made in a half-hour segment on tv...) Sorry for the rant! I was a psych student once upon a time ago.

Anywho, let it air. I'd watch it! (Of course I love talk/reality shows of most any kind... and if they're pet related, all the better. lol)

If your family, friends, spouse, and/or partner is fed up with the amount of money and/or time you are spending on your pet, I would love to talk to you.

I'm fed up with the way vet costs have skyrocketed in the last 10 years so that simple routine vet visits are out of reach for many families and emergencies can really financially hurt almost any family.

There's a very interesting story behind the increase in vet costs nationwide...perhaps you could do a story on that (check Consumer Reports).

And my husband and I are quite happy to spend as much time as possible doting on the cats and spending whatever it takes.

LOL...I think you have come to the wrong place.

Another "nut" here. I think you need to go elsewhere. Who said it was wrong to love your pets and do anything for them? There are way too many abused and neglected in this world. Would you be saying the same thing if the topic were human children?

Well now hmmmmmmmmmmmm as a Dr. heres my 2 cents, first off your psychiatrist needs an appt in my office ASAP so we can deal with the obvious trauma that this person has suffered by not being obsessed with animals. Secondly I will glady go on if I am allowed rebuttal to the absolute farce you are presenting, Your arrogance in stipulating that there is a psycho social issue based on interaction between species and then trying to create a denominator (money in this case) thereby putting a dollar value on life in any shape is apalling.
