Funny, we were having this conversation just the other day. Mi Casa does not have a door bell so Lexi has never heard one but we were watching TV one day a couple years ago and someone range the door bell in the show and Lexu started barking. Is it a genetic thing? How did she know?
She also hear me cut an Avocado from the other end of the house.... Avocado's don't make any sound when you cut them.
Mine know which refrigerator drawer I keep the cheese in and come running when it is opened, no matter how quiet I try to be. They pretty much ignore any other part of the fridge.

I had a slab leak a couple winters ago (always the hot line) and only discovered it because Lexi started laying around on the tile floor in a strange spot.. Got my IR gun and sure enough the tile was 20* warmer in that spot. Told Nurse Paula I was going to start a leak detection company....
Under the slab. That's how it's done when you don't have crawl spaced. 4" slab on 4" of pea gravel...
I'd rather have a leak under my slab than in my attic.
