| How old is she? Is she sensitive to bright light generally? Does she hold her eye closed?

| Does she act like something's wrong? What do you find worrisome about her sitting in the dark? Does she have cataracts? Have you gotten your vet's opinion? Does it happen often? If you bring your baby back into the room with you, what happens? You know, supposedly dogs get more 'light' in their eyes due to the rods/cones structure because they are nocturnal and need good night vision, so the room may seem brighter to your baby than to you, right? What kind of ambient light is in the room...moonlight, street lights, night lights, light from adjacent rooms? Sometimes Brody just comes up missing and usually both he and Mia are right with me, but when I go looking...I just like to know where they are at all times...he is in the bedroom, sometimes on the bed sleeping and sometimes on the floor beside it. He seems to just get tired and he goes off to bed sometimes, but doesn't seem to have anything wrong. He also goes off into the bedroom to sit in his sunbeam.

| This is the most sensible answer anyone could have given.

| I agree, I just thought of coming here to ask the question first if I need to worry or not... thanks for the replies everyone, I appreciate it.
