That's interesting actually. My dog, which is mostly an Australian Cattle herding dog (red heeler) will not watch t.v. . Unfortunately he does know almost all of our language so if we talk about some things like going somewhere or going for a drive he immediately is by the front door waiting to go along.

Sometimes we take him on short trips and he is well behaved. Unfortunately he is a shedder as well. Short haired and a reddish coat.

He is about 70 pounds. foot and a half tall and about three feet long. Smartest of the three dogs we have had. By far. Although the Brittany Spaniel was fairly bright but not quite to Charlie's level. I miss my Brittany. She died early of some internal disease that was not curable. I stayed with her until her stopped. She was special.

Stewey and the TV

I've got a very visual dog. We sometimes say he's dumb, but OBSTINATE is a better word. On the other hand, in terms of his visual acuity and comprehension, he's extremely smart - able to do some things that I can't. (F'rinstance, if he enters a room he was last in 30 minutes earlier, his attention immediately goes to things that have moved or are new. He resists obeying when we tell him to 'sit,' or 'come,' or 'play dead,' but he does really well with hand signals for those same things.)

This evening, I'm watching Toy Story 2 which I recorded in 2004. I knew years ago that there'd come a time when I wouldn't have cable, so I recorded movies. A *lot* of movies. My movie spreadsheet says 10,607 - though some are TV shows and some are duplicates of earlier recordings. The dog walks around and doesn't pay it much attention. But a moment ago, Woody fell off a shelf and landed on the little brown dachshund and WOW did Stewey ever pay attention... running in circles and whining in front of it. In fact, I paused the show while this pretend dog was running, and an image of it stayed on the screen. My dog sat down and stared at it until I got it moving again! LOL... and that was a BLURRED image!

Gotta love dogs. They keep things interesting. I'm also pleased that my 20-year-old recordings are still working. I wish now that I'd recorded in higher quality but I was a penny-pincher (hard to believe, huh?) and I've sometimes got three movies jammed together on a single disc. The important thing is that they're still entertaining. I thought I'd read that homemade DVDs fail after seven or eight years. Guess not.
