TV and your dog

[daisysis]

I leave on Cartoon network. But I am thinking on leaveing on QVC.. not so much bad stuff there

Yep I leave the t.v. on for cody. I have to put him in large pen . cause he would destroy the house if left out. he watches t.v. w. me when im home!
he loves rachael ray and animal planet. scooby doo is his fave!

[For My Coby]

I don't leave anything on, but it reminded me of a funny story.

Coby hasn't shown much interested in tv, but Reggie (our Shi Tzu) loves to watch animals on TV. In the movie Homeward Bound, there is a big white female poodle near the end that captures Chance's heart, I believe. Well Reggie LOVED that girl. He would ignore the whole movie, but EVERY time she came on, he was all over the tv, whining, licking, barking. Also, there used to be a dog food commercial that had a dog tugging on a rope. He liked that commercial, but it frustrated him, because when the rope was "dropped" out of the camera view, Reggie would spend a long time looking for the rope on the floor under the tv. It must have taken 50 or more times watching that commercial and looking for the rope before he gave up. ............ So maybe I should leave the tv on????

I leave the TV on every day, my boys prefer the daytime drama's of cbs. They are particularly interested if Jack and Carly will ever get back together! They also sit on the back of the couch in the window and police the neighborhood from there. They are watching me when I pull out of the garage (of course, I wave to them as I leave) and they are usually up there when I pull in!!! The best part of my day is coming home to my babies!!

Mine too! I love coming home to little wagging tails

I leave the TV on for Lillz...there is something about Spongebob's voice that intrigues her. She just lays there and stares at him. LOL

I leave that same channel on for Winstin when I shower ( and hubby is gone)or have to leave him. Although he is not left a lot. A couple times after my shower I have came out to find him calmly sitting in his crate watching it. It's funny.
I make sure the volume is soft so it does not bother him.
I never did that for my big girls. I guess my boy is just different. Well, I mean spoiled.

That is funny. That is the number one channel when I am home. I just do not want Winstin to think he can drool after the babes on the soaps. Especially Guiding Light. He also might spoil the show for me, if he watches it without me. Are your boys upset over Carly's illness??

Now that Jasper is 6 months old and is not a wire chewer I give hime the run of the house and leave the cartoon network chanel on for him .lol he really does watch it.I usually am never away for more than 4 hours.

[Sadie's Mom]

I leave the radio on for Sadie. I'm hoping it drowns out any outside noises she hears from the apts. and she doesn't bark. I don't think it matters to her boredom....she just sleeps anyway. The rare times that I do leave her running around when I'm gone I do leave the tv on, but usually I'm not going to be gone long when I do this.

I leave the tv or the radio on for them. They do sometimes watch it but most of all they listen to it, it makes them feel less alone and stops them from barking too much. Also I think maybe it might make people think there is someone in the house.

i leave the tv on for lexi everyday on the cartoon network. she just listens
to it and it drowns out the noise from outside a bit.. she just sleeps all
day long poor thing

mocha loves animal planet. i leave it on for her when i leave to go to work. she's never left alone though. my brother goes to school from home and he's constantly at home, but she's such a princess and loves to only be with me. mocha's eyes will stay glued to the tv if the show on animal planet is about dogs.

[lara2913]

I also leave animal planet on, although I don't if one of those animal cruelty programs is on as I think it may scare them

[diggy4]

I try and leave on animal planet for them.
