Tiggy likes WATCHING the Transformers movie

    DH and I decided to lay in bed and watch the Transformers movie, well Tiggy started watching it too and watched about 30 minutes, then him and Reggie started wrestling on the bed LOL. Dorks they are.

    I have heard of dogs and cats watching tv for a few minutes but not as much as Tiggy, he watches it all the time and its more than just a few minutes. He prefers action/adventure type shows but has watched others like Sci-Fi.

    Who else has pups that seriously watch tv?

    Zahra is highly addicted to the tv. DH was watching I am Legend the other night and she was going crazy about the dog in the movie. Chase was going crazy over it too and normally he doesn't care about what is on tv.

    It is funny though, she does seem quite interested in tv.

    My friend's yorkshire/maltese watches the tv enough that he used the remote. My friend puts a simple remote with big buttons in the crate and has tought his pup how to use it to change the channel.

    Sahara loves to watch tv as well, she will crawl up in my lap when I am watching and if a dog is on the screen she will watch til it goes away. She loves the movie "Eight Below" and Homeward Bound, she almost watched the entire movie of both. I leave the tv on for her if I am gone for awhile and she likes Animal Planet.

    I've said it before on here, but Ruby loves Formula One! :D :D My father and I laugh at her because her head actually moves watching the cars on the track. She can be running around, but as soon as she hears the cars she runs and sits right in front of the tv. And she actually watches it for a while before losing interest.

    There's a nature program that I've watch a couple of times. Part of it was about wolves, and when they started howling, Zoey sat and watched the tv. She kept watching for quite a while. She seemed to be watching the activity on the screen because she kept watching even when the howling stopped. Tyler looked at the tv when the howling started and then went about his business.

    EL D likes to watch but only when dogs, wolves, birds and meerkats are on. The really funny thing, though, he'll watch the reflection in the stereo cabinet (if you young pups don't know what that is you'll have to do some research :)) instead of the TV directly. So here he is lying half off the chair or with his head hanging over the arm, staring at the stereo cabinet. And every now and then he'll get up and go looking behind the cabinet to see if he can find the creature. :D

    What are Basenjis like in their native habitat?

    I drove 20 or so minutes each way to my friend's horse far. Not one day did we miss seeing one or more dead dogs on the roads. Too many dogs in shelters picked up from being lost; or hit by cars. While my Rottweilers and first basenji were solid off leash, they only place they got to do it was at my friend's farm. And they weren't just turned out, I was out with them. In the old days, almost all dogs ran loose. The norm... and if they died or were lost... well, get another one. Many died. I quit talking to people about it. They say "they want to be loose" and I say "so do toddlers and 3 to 5 yr olds... I still don't open the front door and send them on the world. " They get mad, I get mad, nothing accomplished. We all take risks and avoid others. Unleashed is one of my "no" areas. And rawhide. Absolutely dogs raised in a village in Africa are not the same as here. I think most dogs don't get enough exercise and mind stimulation. When you do that with an intelligent breed like basenjis, you're going to get unwanted behaviors. You may want to read up on Dr Jo Thompson's work, as she also lived in Africa with these dogs. What wonderful experiences those of you who go to see where they came from.

    All of mine are having a longer and larger shed right now than is usual. I think it because it has been unusually hot and humid for a longer time than normal.

    @Ninabeana26: Some people just really don't know how to read their dogs & think that their dog would never cause trouble. Then when they do the human doesn't know how to respond, thus making it worse usually. I'm glad everything was okay & your boys still had a great day at the park :) I also am a big supporter of dog parks but it's smart to be cautious when taking your pup because you really just cannot predict how other people's dogs are going to react. Thats also why I usually only take them when I know its going to be quieter with less dogs, you add more dogs then you can add possibility of more issues. I have worked with Reggie everyday since i brought him home, and I can tell just by the look in his eyes, or his body language to how he's going to react to a situation

    Thanks, Jodie. I don't think Mags gives a rip about the song ("Just rub and scratch, no singing necessary, PLEASE!"), but it makes me feel happy!

    Hi Quercus! Tano's breeder was Maripat Webber of Etukon. I believe both her siblings went on to be show dogs. Tano took after her mom as far as coloring…being the only red and white of the litter. ^_^ I'll push up Tano's appointment for her physical and request the full thyroid thing. If this is all related to thyroid I definitely want to get it looked into asap! Thank you for pointing out that it could all be related! She really develops a thick woolly undercoat in the fall/winter. You'd think the house wasn't near 70 degrees all winter! If her hair was a little longer I could possibly clean it up and felt with it--she sheds that much! :D
