04-04 Reason #262 to own a DVR
If you don't have a TiVO or DVR, you're missing out. Especially if you have a dog. My wiener dog, Dottie, is no smarter than most dogs (so... not very smart), but the killer instinct is still in there somewhere. I'm pretty sure she'd get vicious on something if she actually got a hold of it (just ask her toys) but she's not fast or especially observant, so most things get by.
Last night during House a fantastic Dyson commercial came on. To show that other lightweight vacuums are underpowered, the commercial features them making squeaky noises. Just like one of Dottie's squeaky toys. The result was amazing. Dog stopping what she's doing (sleeping). Dog jumping. Dog running in random circles, looking up at the sky like she's on some killer peyote. Dog whining at me to just produce the toy already.
I'm convinced that, while any book will tell you dachshunds were bred to hunt burrowing animals (it means "badger dog" in german), they were in fact created for the sole purpose of devouring squaky toys.

My little dog responded to the same commercial as well. We think she knew that the sound was coming from the TV, but she still completely turned all her attention to the commercial, listened to the squeaky noises, cocked her head to the side and seemed utterly intrigued. We used the DVR to replay the commercial three times to watch and laugh as DeeDee played out the same response each time. I hope the Dyson people know how much fun they have created for dog owners.
P.S. It's quite a coincidence that you live in Michigan too. I just googled "dyson commercial squeaky" and your page popped up. #
