So we're watching a certain movie in the rec room - a movie that has a horse and is currently in theatres and Dex is watching with us. Now, I have no clue how well dogs see or what they see when they look at a tv. Is it like looking through the window for them except that the scene changes way too much? We know that some dogs seem to watch and some don't. Now Dex likes to watch if there are animals involved. He loved the Dog Whisperer. Now what happened to that guy? Did they shut him down? Was he doing unspeakable things to dogs who needed to go to his rehab centre? Because I have to say, I've always been suspicious because they never really showed anything they did there - just the dogs out in the yard.
But that's off the subject.
We're watching the movie and it gets to the part where there's bombs blowing up. Now Dex doesn't like those noises for some reason - some people set off fireworks New Year's Eve and he was concerned. But when the bombs are going off in this movie and the horse is running through, Dex starts getting really upset. First, he paws at my arm so I give him a hug and tell him it's ok - it's just pretend. But that's not good enough - he pretty much crawls into my lap and gets super sucky - and I still wasn't protecting him enough I guess because he had to crawl right between Gary and I to get hugs. He was staring at the screen and trying not to look at the screen and I'm sure he wanted us to save the horse or something - make the bombing stop - whatever. He didn't let up until the bombing was over.
He's a strange dog.
3 sounds of silence:
Your doggie has a big heart. :) The only things our dogs react to on television are door knocks and when a doorbells rings. It's funny, but they are pretty stoopid. heehee
My daughter's dog that lives with us because she lives with us, sits at the end of the sofa every night. I have a big chair, Mrs. Spadoman has the sofa and shares with Crosby the dog. He's a Husky.
He doesn't seem to watch the TV. But when I watch hockey, for example, and there is a great play or a goal scored, I might raise my voice a little, no, maybe sometimes a lot, and let out a cheer. Crosby raises his ears and if it's a big cheer, he gets down off the sofa and doesn't come back until it has quieted down.
Wish I knew what they were thinkin'.
I do know Dex is lucky to have you.
Peace
I've heard that many Dogs bark and react to the duh-dunt sound on Law and Order-- our Dog literally shivers and freaks at Thunder, Fireworks--but not so much TV1 I was wondering about one of those Thunder Shirts advertised on the infomercial on TV.
Caesar is alive and well and still molest---whispering to small dogs. I did see that he and his wife Divorced!
There's a shocker for ya!!!
shhht! Behave Jeannie!
