I put turn everything off. If I'm leaving the house I don't intentionally leave stuff on for her if something is off when I leave the house then it stays off if its on I just leave it on. If its going to be dark when I get home i turn a light on just for safety when I walk in. I'm pretty bad at turning the TV off when I leave though so she normally gets it (we don't have a meter on our house so electricity is free I used to be better about it however got lazy)

Jasmine gets to watch animal planet when we leave. It doesn't really cost us a whole or extra so we say why not

i haven't done it in a while but i have left
the tv, radio and light/lights on. we finally
discovered things can go on a timer so
we use that for the lights.

we live on post in an older neighborhood so it doesn't have meters yet however not all great we pay hundreds more a month for the same exact place as the others do around us... just part of the system has its perks and draw backs.

I leave a night light on to give some light. That's about it though.

When I first got Shane and then Chance, I always left the radio on initially when they were little. both my dogs listened to classical music. It really helped them when I was at work.
