Does your Yorkie Watch T.V? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Lexi's favourite show is America's funniest home videos. Whenever a funny sound, or animal comes on the screen she perks right up. She'll sit infront of the t.v and watch, if a dog comes on the screen she gets really excited.

Its funny because my 3 other dogs don't pay any attention to the t.v.

Does your yorkie watch t.v?

We always laugh when a doorbell rings or a dog barks on TV. Daisy's ears perk up and she looks around and barks. like who is here or where is that dog!! so funny. My husband torments her and replays the noise over and over just to see her reaction. poor baby.

She also is a computer baby. thinks I have to hold her while I'm on the computer. she watches that screen and her ears will perk up or she will cock her head.
Wonder what she's thinking??

Mine dont pay any attention to the tv

Humphrey is a tv addict. He loves Baby TV and Newschannels. Whenever I need to go out I turn on the tv and leave him in the living room, so he jumps on the couch, lies on his belly facing the tv, paws under his chin and his hind legs crossed. Its too funny.

Yep mine watch tv. They love America's Funniest Videos too. They get all excited when another animal is on tv.

SillyStrawberry · 11-07-2008, 09:21 AM

Strawberry doesn't watch tv a lot...but she checks it out once and a while...after a minute she turns away. It was so funny...when she was just barely 4 months old I was watching Desperate Housewives and she was sleeping next to me....then she woke and took a look at the screen and right then Kyle MacLachlan came on the tv with a evil glance over his shoulder and she got up and went to the edge of the sofa and growled at the tv. Then after that for about 15 minutes she watched the tv with her ears perked to make sure it was safe! My Little Big Mean Guard Dog! Haha!

I leave the tv on animal planet for background noise when I am playing around on the internet and Hooks loves horses. I have found that is the only thing that he will stop what he is doing to watch.

Oh that is too funny! I was watching that last night, and Fiona was literally laying down on our bed just watching it! she is funny!

I leave the animal planet channel on for Lulu and she adores watching tv.
she will stop what she is doing when she sees a dog or any other furry animal for that matter. She tends to bark at horses thought. LOL

cutie reacts to the door bells or phone ringing on the tv. She sprints and starts barking for the door like someone is there...and then my sheltie max runs with her and he barks his little furbutt off. Max actually watches when there is a animal on tv with his ears perked and follows the animal on the tv. It only happens with americas funniest home videos or animal planet

You guys all have very cute stories; what a great thread idea!

One time we left the TV on a nature channel and a bird show came on. With each chirp and call she was jumping up and running around the TV trying to find the noise. When she realized it was connected to the pictures she cocked her head a bit and started growling!
She lays next to me on the couch when I have the laptop open and if I put on music from it she stares at the little speaker for a couple minutes and just cocks her head back and forth for like 5 minutes! Adorable! I think her little head cocks are her biggest charm.

Roxanne_mi · 11-07-2008, 10:50 AM

Aurora doesn't usually watch it, but she wants it on. I had it off all day one day. She came in the computer room and paced in the doorway. She was barking and whining (best way to describe the bark ). Finally I realized tv was off and I said you want the tv on. She ran to the living room and sat in front of the tv. After I turned it on, she stayed out there.

There is times that I am working at the computer and need to be able to work without distractions. I tell aurora that mommy needs to work, go watch tv. She goes out to the living room and doesn't whine at the door like she usually does. She will get up and huff once or twice. When I finally open the door she is always in the same spot on the couch, facing the tv.

Alfie likes to watch TV mostly football (Soccer that is) and animal programs. Lottie does not bother with it at all,

zaknnana · 11-07-2008, 11:04 AM

Lily was watching the "Dog Whisperer" when she was very young and her ears perked up and never went down again after that!!!LOL TRUTH!!!!! We have laughed and laughed about that!! It seemed like they perked up when she was watching those dogs on there and they stayed like that!!LOL She barks when a doorbell rings on TV too now!!

stellarstarx · 11-07-2008, 11:52 AM

Lola watches tv all the time. Sometimes when I'm doing the dishes in the kitchen she'll just jump up on the couch and plant herself toward the tv. When she sees another dog on tv she either gets excited or starts barking. She loves Animal Planet, but really she'll watch anything. She's so cute!
