Tails of Maggie & Katie: Educational TV? pfui
Educational TV? pfui
by B. A. Brown
The Eukanuba Dog Show was less than educational and, if you judge by the
interest evinced by the canine members of my household, incredibly boring.
I made them watch. They kept nodding off.
I pointed with awe at the screen: "LOOK! That dog called 911 and saved
her Mom's life!"
They raised their heads for a brief moment, and then dropped back down,
soon snoring.
"LOOK!" I exclaimed! "Look at those gorgeous dogs!"
This generated a bit more interest, but only briefly.
"Look at how they walk so nicely on their leashes!"
Yawn. Big sigh.
"Look at how they sit pretty so the judge can feel their coats and big
strong bodies!"
Yawn, mutter, shoulder roll, brief stretch.
"LOOK! Look at these cute little toy dogs!"
Turn over, sigh.
"Look! That police dog saved his Dad, got shot a bunch of times and
still came back to work."
Silence.
"Sit up and look! German shepherd! Just like your dog mommy"!
Stretch, sigh, momentary glance at the screen.
"I'm taking you to obedience school!"
snore. snore.
"POUND!!"
Two dogs get up, mutter, toss dirty looks over their shoulders, leave
the room.
So much for the value of educational tv.
