My last girl would go NUTS if she saw anything animal-like on screen. Even a crawling human or an animated logo could set her off. She'd try and get behind the TV!Wow. It's funny because my two pay absolutely no attention to the tv at all. I watched the rescue dog show over the weekend, and nothing! I think out of the 5 dogs I have had in my life, I only have had one dog that ever seemed to "watch tv" and would go crazy when she saw animals on the screen.
It's interesting. Misha really seems to like watching stuff like birds and squirrels on tv. And it seems he really enjoys watching dog agility runs. He did freak out about seeing some cheetahs on tv a couple weeks ago. He stood up like a meerkat staring at the screen barking. But he realized they were okay after a minute.My last girl would go NUTS if she saw anything animal-like on screen. Even a crawling human or an animated logo could set her off.

Peggy on the other hand doesn't really react to animals on screen. She might perk up if she sees a dog, but not often. Mostly she's just mesmerized. ?
? I know that exact pose! I used to play episodes of Meerkat Manor for Gracie.It's interesting. Misha really seems to like watching stuff like birds and squirrels on tv.

While I'm grooming him I often will put my laptop in front of him and play dog agility runs or turn on "cat tv" which is just HD video of birds and squirrels. I think it helps him to not be bored.
I find it so funny when dogs react to the tv. Especially when they play noises or bounce up and down (like trying to get a better look or sniff them). Have to wonder if they are saying “PLEASE come out and play with me!” I think it’s one of the cutest things ever.So cute, jojogal! Peggy will stand on the ottoman and do all sorts of play-with-me sounds and gestures at the TV. For the longest time I thought she was just looking at her reflection in the screen, but finally I tried turning it on for her and she settled right in to watch.
I haven’t had a dog before that would pay any attention to it much less sit/lay down to watch an entire show. I wonder what makes it so very interesting to some and not others?Wow.

I love it! It’s like distracting a little kid when you cut his hair or braid her hair or do other things that make them impatient.While I'm grooming him I often will put my laptop in front of him and play dog agility runs or turn on "cat tv" which is just HD video of birds and squirrels.

Yes I can't stop touching him. Everybody says he looks like crushed velvet. And he is much happier snuggling now that he doesn't overheat constantly. My boyfriend and I constantly joke that he looks like Pongo from 101 dalmatians when he disguises himself as a labrador. We keep saying Look, I'm a labrador! in a British accent. Like this...He looks sweet and velvety.
