Psychic pets

I have a small dog called Molly and I'm sure she's psychic. I travel a lot and she always seems 1 ___ in advance when I'm about to go away. She gets upset and stops eating her food. She can also tell when I'm coming back. My daughter notices Molly 2 ___ up at the door waiting for me to return. She says that when I phone from the airport Molly gets very excited.

When you hear Molly 3 ___ you also know someone is going to arrive. A few minutes before anyone knocks on the door you can hear her 4 ____ on the door. There's no need to have a doorbell because she gives us a few minutes warning.

This isn't the only strange thing that happens with her. One day when my wife

was visiting a friend I took Molly for her usual walk in the park. For some reason she took me in a completely different direction from the park. When my wife saw us 5 ____ at her friend's house she was amazed. Perhaps Molly 6 ____ her way there. Or perhaps she heard my wife 7 ____ me where she was going!

Finally, sometimes in the evening I notice Molly 8 ____ in front of the TV when it's not on. It can be different days and different times but she stands there looking at the TV. When I turn it on there's usually a wildlife programme on about big cats - lions and tigers. It seems she can 9 ____ when these programmes are on. She never 10 ____ TV at any other time!
