do you do this with your babies?



My dogs watch TV. Do your dogs watch TV? I am learning that this is a very rare thing for dogs to do, but mine have both watched TV since day one. They are definitely more interested in the Animal Planet than anything else, but will usually watch The Discovery Channel, too. Any time a dog comes on TV, they run up to the screen (as pictured) and either move their heads from side to side, in that "curious dog-look" or bark if the dog pictured poses a threat.

The other day I was making carmelitas, and between Ober trying to jump in the oven & Jack sitting on my feet every time I stood still, I needed some serious alone time (I am laughing as I write this, I talk about them like they are kids). Anyways, I turned on the 2009 Dog Championships & the pups watched it for an hour and a half straight...Toby, from the couch & Bubs, front and center.

I realize that this basically means I am already a mother who shoves her children in front of the TV in order to get them out of her hair, but whatever, my dogs are the coolest.

**and Mom's who shove their babies in front of the TV are the coolest, too***

  1. I still can't believe they do that - it's so funny! And if shoving your kid in front of the TV to get them out of your hair is bad, then I deserve some major spankings!

  3. I have a wire fox terrier who loves tv too. She goes crazy at any animal that is on. My daughter was watching alvin and the chipmunks and whenever they were on the tv she would attack! Good times!

  4. haha that is funny!My dog ruby loves to watch newly released movies. She will curl up in her chair and watch the whole movie with us, but if she has already seen it she will go to sleep. It is so funny! I love that girl!

  5. My dog doesn't watch tv, but I've had a few who do (unfortunately they are no longer with us) I however picked up on the mention of carmalitas, I'm curious what this is and the recipe, it sounds fabulous and this is the 2nd time you've mentioned them in your blog the last few days! DO SHARE!
