Fur-Real
Welcome to the world of Debbie Pearl: dog rescuer, boss, mother, non-profit founder, and leading Hollywood animal trainer. She and her staff at Paws for Effect have made their business one of the top five animal training companies in Hollywood - and she's done it all with rescued dogs. She finds them in shelters, bad homes, even the streets - and brings them home to live (yes, live) with her and her family on their ranch outside Los Angeles. The ones that "make it" support the other, errr, less talented canines. Debbie's 7-year-old son thinks she's pretty great, and doesn't even seem to mind too much when she talks to him just like she does to her other, more furry kids. For Debbie and her family, life is totally Fur-Real.

So the Sirens are having mojitos with our favorite communication guru, Steven Gaffney. We love him, we're dying to find a TV vehicle for him: let's face it, he's young, he's hot, and he's awesome on camera. As we slurp the first festive drinks o' the spring, we naturally begin pestering him for advice on our own love lives. At one point he exclaims: "If only I could be talking in a girl's ear and tell her what to say when a guy pulls this crap!" And voila - "The Relationship Whisperer" was born.
