At the risk of sounding completely ignorant Can Yorkies see in the dark? I always wonder at night, does she really need me to leave a light on or can she see where her wee pad is? Sometimes I forget to switch it on and she makes it fine. Sometimes she misses altogether even with the light on...stubborn ole girl. Anyway, can she? |
They can see in the dark but not as well as cat, I have a night light on |
I haven't a clue, but have always left a light on for my babies. One of those small bedside lamps with the tri-light, I think it might be 15 watts. I do know when I did forget, Oscar would stand at the end of the bed like he couldn't see to jump down - until I turned on the tv to brighten the room a bit. |
They can see better in the dark than humans can, but still need some light. Cats can see with even a very minimal amount of light. |
Thank ya kindly. I think a nightlight would be a good idea. I hate seeing the light on all night but didn't want her to be "blind" all night either. Thanks much! |
She can find her puddle pad at night by scent...with the exception of sight hounds, a dog's nose gives them much more information than their eyes! |
I always leave the bathroom light on in our bedroom for Gucci and sometimes he is still stubborn if I don't wake up when he is WHINING in the morning and he goes on the carpet :mad: ( I SWEAR HE DOES IT ON PURPOSE TO TEACH ME ABOUT NOT GETTING UP WHEN HE SAYS LOL) I then "get up" like a "good mommy" does and clean it ... the lil stinker!!! I do think some light helps :p just to answer the question.. and the only STUPID QUESTION IS THE ONE NOT ASKED ;) |
Shannonroselive - this is a great question! I wondered the same thing!:D Thanks for asking it ;) |
There is NEVER a dumb question if it is to benefit the well being and good care of a Yorkie!!! I really have never thought of it, but I do know that Shelby and Seymour can find their way around in the dark.... but it maybe possible that a puppy in new surroundings may need a little "assisitance" to find their way for a few days! |
Thanks everyone! She's been with us for a good 7 weeks now so she knows where everything is. Now if her stubborn behind will just go TO it every time, we'll be all set! hahaha. yorkies! Who's idea was this anyway???:p |
I think they can see, but not very well. Even more so, dogs have such a great sense of smell... I think their nose takes the place of their eyes in the dark :) If that makes sense :D Good question :thumbup: |
I have a night light in my bathroom...not only for them but for me as well when I need to get up in the middle of the night. :D |
