Beady eyed witch
None of the other dogs who've lived with me have even come even close. Yesterday I was out washing the back glass sliding doors. It was a big job after a wind storm blew dust on them and then rain, not to mention lots of nose prints and streaky paw prints. NO idea how they got there.  So Tiggy was outside with me making sure I did a good job. Apparently I need close supervision or I get things all mucked up!A few dry leaves had blown into the gap between a pane of glass and a sliding door so I used a screw driver to pull them out and had the vacuum ready to vac them up. She had moved about two feet away in order to annoy, I mean guard, the cat who was outside in his run.  I turned away to get the vacuum and when I turned back Tiggy was leaping over to sniff at the ground beside the door. She had spotted a redback spider making it's escape.  I just had time to push her head away and use the vacuum on the spider before someone got bitten on the nose.  I can't believe she noticed something so small from so far away. She was quite put out that she didn't get to check out the wee beastie. Yikes they are very, very poisonous.  Anyone else have a sheepie with eagle eyes? |

| It was good that mommy was so quick to keep her out of danger. Violet is not so great in the sight department, unless it has to do with food, but i'm sure that's more smell than sight. Asia and China on the other hand, see way too well. I've often wonder how it would be to have eyes as good as theirs. |
| Yup! We don't have any poisonous bugs or snakes here so lily can eat or squish all the creepy crawly things she wants too. |
| Archie can spot a puddy tatt at one heck of a distance. He occasionally splats a house spider (even I can hear them sometimes running across the carpet) he just observes in a lazy fashion but if one makes a B-Line for him he'll lazily lift a paw and splat it. It's all down to movement with him, one of our cats will run past him and he'll chase her, whereas her brother has realised that sitting still brings on a Klingon cloaking device as far as Archie is concerned, it's the same it the street he will walk right past a cat that is still but one 300 yards away moving will have him interested. It is the same with leaves, birds all sorts of moving things. Probably why they made such good herd guarding dogs, if a wolf or other predator tried to sneak in a field of sheep grazing they would stick out like a sore thumb to their eyesight. |
Oscar is very attuned to movement. If a critter is just standing there, he might miss it, but if it is in motion, fuggedaboutit!!!!!  Laurie and Oscar |
| Tiggy is cute but oh so scary thing that could have happened. Buster may see something small moving as he is usually looking at the ground incase treats miraculously appear. He hates wasps and horse flies and tries to snap them up......He's like lightening when he does that.....The reason he hates them Is because he has been bitten on eye lids by horse flies so that his eyes swell closed.  Monty is good at seeing things run, which he can chase but when it comes to chasing balls he's useless, it is really quite funny to watch. A man chucked a ball for him with a ball chucker in the park and Monty turned around and faced the opposite direction the ball had gone, trying to see the ball. His perception of where the ball is going is usually off as well as locating a ball if he runs in the right direction. He can see okay as he has no problems seeing deer at a long distance or us at a distance. |
