We are compiling a list of things on TV that set off our crazy dog.  We have a TV mounted on the wall above the fireplace and Tor, our 2-year-old Rottweiler stands on his hind feet to challenge things on the tv.

 

Things like:

• Alaskan sled dogs
• Tattooed prisoners
• Redheads (sorry, Lisa)
• Horses
• Anyone in a jumpsuit

 

While he is standing on his back feet, sometime he loses his balance and falls backwards.  This doesn’t stop him from challenging the next red-headed prisoner wearing a jumpsuit on horseback mushing Alaskan sled dogs.

 

Other things that set him off:

• When the thirty-year-old maple near our deck sneaks up on him
• The wind
• Snow on the deck
• Windows (sometimes they sneak up on him, too)
• Cars on the road half a mile away that he can only see when the leaves are off the trees
• Leaves falling off the trees
• Either cat
• His crate
• His food dish
• Our son (with a blanket draped over his shoulders)

 

Oh yeah, and shadows.

 

We live such a calm life.

I asked Supergirl if she would write a few blog posts about our real lives. We’re calling it Hank and Jane IRL, and if you don’t get the Hank and Jane reference, you need to read Errant Gods 🙂
