Who leaves the tv on for your fur babies? - Page 3

Stella's Mom · 01-27-2012, 07:55 AM

I leave the tv on if we are going out after she has been sitting with us if we were watching tv. If the tv was not on before we left the house I generally do not turn it on as we are leaving unless we will be gone for many hours and it is evening.

I think the house feels more normal if the lights and tv are on during the evening/night. The daytime is different.

Being retired Tony goes with me, everywhere. The only time I leave him alone at home is when I might be out of the truck for more than a half hour or so. And that is far and few between.

I always leave the TV on in my bedroom for Mikko. I like to leave on lighthearted shows like on Nickelodeon or TBS.

If it is night I leave a night light on- probably more for me than for him since I don't think he cares much if it is dark or light. Sometimes I leave the TV on, especially if we are having people over and Dax is in our room just to get away from the chaos. It covers up the sound of kids screaming, dishes crashing, the door opening and closing. If I do put the TV on I put it on one of the home/garden channels. I figure they have the least distressed-sounding voices. I don't want to rile him up with sounds of dogs barking on the animal channels...

I leave the light on since during the winter it's usually dark when I go to work and often it's dark when I get home at the end of the day. The light is on a timer and I usually come home for lunch (not that that's important to this conversation though).

With a little thought, I guess this is silly since she can see a rabbit 30 yards away in the dark...not sure why I think she couldn't find her water bowl in the dark...

I leave the light on over the sink that also shines into the LR(its open) and sometimes i leave anothert light on. the radio sometimes. It is stupid as even though they are old dogs they see better then me in the dark.

When I was going to the University and had to leave for hours, I left a radio on for my two Poodles.
