Lol!! Mine leave their toys on the stairs and in all sorts of dangerous places!! Balls are the worst if you tread on one on a stair. I remember doing this once and slipping onto my backside and I had a cup of tea in one hand and it went all up the wall, lol!! Mel.

While his night-time habits are very easy to live with, at other times he finds the daftest places to lie, like the bottom of the stairs. One of these days, I'm going to go flying, although when I'm in my right mind, I try to check that he's not there first. It's a good job he's not a black dog, or I wouldn't even have a clue that he was in one of his odd places.

I don't think he realises anything different about me. He does not always move out my way and sometimes I almost fall over him. Most of my other dogs have realised by this stage in the relationship, to get the hell out of the way if they see me coming, but it's more because they remember what happened the last time, not because they know I can't see. After all, how can they know such things?

What do folks think about the dogs cognition of our level of sight? So in my case does Quartz know I cant see? He will flop on the floor round the house and during the night if he gets too hot he will retreat to cooler wooden floor.
