…it drives hubby nuts because he says I keep "sneaking up on him" and freaking him out....:))
It's something how it becomes second nature, isn't it?
Have a look at my dogs on my homepage.
They can literally "hear a mouse peeing on cotton", as the saying goes.
Yet they start barking when "daddy" comes in the back door to the bathroom attached to the downstairs bedroom which is quite a distance from the living room.
I can come down the upstairs steps that run right outside of the living room and still make them jump when I come through the living room door.
The house is 270 years old the steps have a closed in pantry under them that acts like an echo chamber so every noise on those steps is amplified.
[and yes, I do get a perverse kick outta being able to sneak up on *them* because theoretically, it should be impossible]...;))
Whoa.
I think maybe I need a better 'hobby'....LOL!
