We watch quite a lot of the National Geographic channel and Animal Planet. One quirky phenomenon that we've noticed as a result of this is related Heidi's behaviour if a show involves a dog.
It's funny to compare Heidi and Reese. They each have their strengths -- Reese is much better at sniffing out things she likes (especially food) and in more than a few ways, she appears to be more alert, almost smarter. But then Heidi surprises us.
Anytime we're watching a show with a dog, Heidi plops up onto the couch and settles in to watch the show. She watches the dog(s) on the TV with interest. If a dog makes a noise on the TV -- barking, whining, or growling -- she is on alert. Her ears perk up, eyes on the TV, sometimes she even lets out a couple of warning barks, like "Hey!! This is my house - shut up!"
Reese on the other hand, is completely oblivious.
Maybe Heidi is just the laid back, quiet type and we should give her a little more credit? Or then again, maybe Reese knows that the TV dogs are not really in our house, in which case poor Heidi is wrong again! Guess we'll never know.

I love Heidi's warning bark while we watch Dog Whisperer. Its hilarious and cute. Its like she's saying "hey back off... get your own sandwich" but at the same time we know she's a big wuss... I love it.
