These are all really fun! It is awesome to see all the pavlovian responses in our everyday lives!

Tina runs under the couch any time the bath starts to run, even if it is for me!

Tbone comes to sit next to one of us and shakes anytime he hears the oven turn on. I think he is just expecting the smoke detector to go off, which he HATES!

Oh, here's another one! We had an eel in our saltwater tank, and when we would dip a shot glass in the water, he knew it was going to be feeding time. We would fill the glass with tank water to thaw out his food, and he knew as soon as the surface was disturbed it was feeding time.
