TV and your dog

[mizzwanned]

When you are gone do you leave the TV on cartoons, etc? Do they watch it? I left it on cartoons today for Teddy cause when i left he was just sitting on the couch like he knew i was leaving and he looked so sad. So i left out some of his toys and couldn't resist putting on cartoons. Atleast it won't be so quiet. The girls stay together in my room so atleast they have each other but Teddy stays by himself in the living room. He loves being on the couch. I couldn't tell though if he likes tv or not..what do you guys do?

Chip just sleeps in his snuggle ball when I'm gone, or he'll sit on the stairs and look out the window into the street. He's perfectly fine with quiet, except when my cat starts screaming at him for no reason

One lady at the yorkie meetup this weekend says she has a webcam in her home, and can check up on her dogs while at work.

We have always left Animal Planet on for Toto on those rare occasions that we leave her. We suspect that she probably sleeps the whole time but we leave it on to help shut out any outside noises that bother her. We let people, who don't know us very well, just think we are nuts when we say we leave it on for her!!

My sister lives on the second floor apt., and back in Zippy's younger years the first floor would say it sounds like Zippy is having a party while she was at work. When she got home she would find that he jumped on the coffee table and kicked off a bunch of the magazines and books on it, and the hall way rugs would be bunched up.

Avery stays downstairs in the living room.. I keep her in her x-pen. In there is one of her beds, lots of her toys, food, water, and a pee pad(it is the perfect amount of space for her-and she ususally likes to sleep during the day anyways)
I put a few cheerios in there for her, so she at least has something to look forward to(i kinda hide 'em for her) I also keep the fans going and the TV on!!(i just keep it on MTV-only cuz thats what i have been doing since we got her.. but she would probably like cartoons!!)
-it's so funny.. she watches tv now and recognizes certain sounds coming from it.. if she hears something she will sit there and tilt her head to the side, back-and-forth.. im sure you know what i mean-its the cutest thing!!

I don't leave the TV on, because I'm usually always here, and besides they have each other for company.

[SANDYSAND]

I leave the tv, the radio and the webcam as well...Most of the time all i get to see is a blank screen because she hangs out in other areas But I do like to leave the radio in one room and the tv on in the other(believe me my energy bill has gone up) Specially with the A/C the little princess it's just spoiled I hope she knows i hav eto work hard to give her the luxury (lol) But w.all jokes aside, She goes to work w/me a lot, so I must stop talking bad about her

[Akina]

I always leave TV on when I leave her and I turn it off when we both go out so she knows if I turn off the TV, it means she gets to go places with me!!
So now I can't turn it off the TV....
I put soap opera for her so she can recap for me when I get home!!!
Just kidding.
I leave it on NBC since right before I leave for work, I'm watching Today's Show and keep it on!!

I always leave the radio playing when gone. I guess it makes me feel better. I do it mainly for background noise.
