Explain this mixed-up dog behavior. Can’t figure it for whenever the newly installed microwave beeps the dawg comes a-runnin’ like we called him. Tail wagin’ and ready for action something we don’t understand what. It’s like a Pavlov thing but the OLD oven had beeps and whistles too and he never cared less. It’s not like we give him food out of it…

The door bell ring sets him off to barking, of course. He understands the rumbling from the electric garage door opening. Dawg knows the sound of the kitchen phone desk drawer and the rustle of car keys therein. Amazingly, he can even distinguish the unique beat of our make and model vs other car brands passing by.  Why is he confused about the microwave?
