On the other hand, I always got a laugh when there was a doorbell on the telly and the dog barked and rushed to the door.

According to her grandson, Agatha Christie (famous author) had a mad/grumpy/scared dog that would bite the person nearest him when the telephone rang!

I'd probably do that if I were a dog. Often I'll jump when the damn thing rings. They say I'm highly strung.

Are you a Violin? Re Dogs & TV.

For those who watch the UK Gogglebox Series.

You will have noticed the family who have about 5 large dogs in a tiny TV lounge + 4 adults also watching TV would just about tear the TV into tiny pieces if they could when certain animal noises are broadcast.:Rolling:

One of them usually uses the interruption to thieve some of the table snacks which usually do look quite good.

If they could only see themselves & I'm sure a lot of them load up the background with **** that is only personal to them, but "Hey look at me guys, I've been to Bullamakanka" Idiots![bigrolf]

I used a custom virtual background so that nobody could see into my house.

Easy really. You sit in front of telly, switch on, select channel, prepare to laugh, piece of ****, job done.

At the end of the day it is freedom of choice & I like it & it is good for a laugh & then I don't suppose I'd like any crap you watched.
