| Does your Yorkie like to watch tv? Barley likes to watch tv. He started last week with obsessing over trying to get the fish in my tank. Luckily it's 75 gallons so he can't knock it over, and though it's been here since he came to us. Last week is when he first noticed it. Then he started standing under the tv stand and watching tv. He also is drawn to computer screens. He will sit beside me and walk onto the keyboard of my lap top as I'm typing to get a closer look at the screen. Does anyone elses Yorkie do this? At first we thought it was cute, but now he seems to be very drawn to these three things. Oh, and he will stick his nose very close to the pilot light on the gas fireplace. There have been numerous times where I've had to pull him away from getting too close. None of my other dogs have ever done this so I'm curious if it's a Yorkie thing. Thanks

| Fiona LOVES watching tv. WIth these Marley & Me commericals that have been airing, she will jump up on the bed to watch it, like she needs a better view of it. She will also watch It's me or the dog with me all the time!

| SophieKate loves TV. When I have to go away for a short trip I will set my Netbook on the floor in front of her crate and let her watch a Yorkie video on Youtube. Think she is spoiled?

| My yorkie watches TV a lot. The kennel we bought him from did not have a TV in their kennel, so the first one he ever saw was when we brought him home at four months of age. He has always been fascinated by the TV. His most hated commercial is the M&M running on the conveyor belt (like a tread mill). He will get out of bed and come flying to the living room to bark at that commercial. He also does not like Oprah and barks at her a lot. The funniest thing I've seen him watch was a program about bigfoot. Every time the "bigfoot" would walk across the screen, he would go crazy barking. He was really afraid of it. He also loves to watch the fish in our aquarium (large cichlids) and constantly notices people and animals on my computer screen. He is such a weird little dog.

| They're amazing little beings. Barley's layin on my shoulder watch me type on my laptop. It cracks me up how much he stares at the computer like he knows I'm writing about him. Thanks for sharing!!

| Bailey will watch when animals are on tv - otherwise, not. We don't have a fish tank, but we do have two mounted deer heads on either side of the fire place - and Bailey keeps a close eye on 'em.
