We had a little Pomeranian named Queen of Sheba, and she would always lie close to us when we were watching television. She would often listen to the noises on there, and once, when we were watching Animal Planet, and there were kittens on the program; Sheba started looking all over around and behind the television trying to find those kittens !
I think the one thing that she was most fascinated by was the door bell. Even thought she was only a tiny 4 lb teacup Pom, she thought she was the family guard dog. Anytime the doorbell would ring, she was right there, running p to the door to let us know we had company.
The only bad thing about this was that she could not tell the difference between a real doorbell, and one on the television; so whenever someone rang a doorbell on the TV, she would jump up and run to the door, barking loudly! She could never understand why there was no one there, when she KNEW that she heard someone ringing the doorbell.
