| Does your Yorkie watch TV???? My little boy loves to watch TV, he can be playing and if an animal, especially a dog goes across the screen, he jumps down, runs to the TV and will not take his eyes off until it leaves the screen. My female will do the same except not as intense. We put on Marley and Snowdogs for them to have family night and they love it. It does however sometimes gets anoying because they will not quieten down and you can't hear the show. It's really funny because we never realized shows that actually will have a dog in it. Just wondering if your guys do the same thing, or if mine are just being more of couch potatoes!!! |

| Bently loves to watch TV with us...... esp. if there is a dog barking on the screen. We have video taped him walking across the room and played it back on the tv and he loves to watch himself. |

| I used to have a Min. Schnauzer that watched tv. It was hilarious. You could watch his head turn and follow certain movements of the tv too. Now all my dogs do is bark when the door bell rings.....on tv!

No Fleas, our golden ret. had some skin issues and I asked if it could be fleas and he said, well if it is, they came with you from TN because we don't have them here!!!! Thanks for the idea. |

| Apple doesn't actually watch t.v., but on certain commercials, she will stop and look up at the t.v., until it's over...Of course, if she hears a dog bark, a cat meow, a lion roar, or a doorbell ring, she'll get wound up...Haven't noticed Buzzy Boy doing that yet...He's usually too busy trying to find somewhere to hide the bully stick Apple just dropped to look at the t.v.... |

| We just recently saw Bentley stop his playtime to view a few seconds of a show. It has happened more than once. My husband and I understood that dogs couldn't see 2D so it has brought up great discussions/debates in our house. Of course, I told him that it is because my boy is a genius! |

| Mine don't really watch tv but with the surround sound, Hot Rod will bark when a dog barks. lol The sound of crickets drives him nuts and he jumps up and start running around barking. lol Maggie only gets up and barks if he's doing it.

| My Yorkie doesn't watch tv. But my mutt Cooper does It is so funny b/c she too follows movement with her head. It is really cute when she is on the arm of the chair closest to the t.v. and we are behind her. To see her little head turn from side to side and tilt will bring tears to your eyes its so cute. |

| Gracie Ruth watches tv. Like other, if there's an animal she'll be especially excited. But she often sits and watches regular tv too. She moves her head and follows the action. She recognizes football and will bark up a storm when even a commerical comes on with football players. Thanks Poppa ...she and her daddy watch football together on Sundays. He yells at the tv and she barks. Now whenever she sees a football player she barks. She watched several minutes of the new Star Trek movie we rented the other day. It's a hoot to see and I really do wonder what she is thinking when she watches tv.

| Jackson ALWAYS watches TV, particularly more so though when watching Dog Whisperer or a dog movie. He just loves to watch the dogs walk around and bark and carry on. He literally just sits and watches, his mind going a mile a minute trying to figure out how a dog got in that TV. lol
