My dog : my shadow!

I go in the kitchen, and he's there.

I go to the shed, he follows.

I wander around the garden, and he's within a yard of me.

I go to the bathroom, and he muscles his way in.

I sit on the settee, and he lies at/on my feet.

In short, wherever I am to be found, he is too.

With one exception....the cellar.

He stands at the top, staring down across the 7-or-so steps.

My two previous dogs did exactly the same.

The steps and cellar are well lit : concrete steps, true, but so are the ones into the garden, and he/they had no problem with them.

At times, I've tried tempting them down with offers of chews and biscuits, but no....no further than the entrance/top step.

I wonder why?!

They can probably smell the decaying human remains buried under your cellar floor and then cemented over the top. I wouldn't want to go near your cellar either if I had such a powerful nose!

How long have you lived in your house!?

13 years-or-so.....ever since my fabuously wealthy mother-in-law mysteriously disappeared... ;-)
