Scooter pulled a Mom

So, in case anyone doesn't know... When Lexi was younger, we had a gate up in the doorway between the hallway and the kitchen. One day, we moved it to the opposite doorway (between the hallway and the living room). Mom was busy reading the manual or something and she was heading into the kitchen. Well, she must've forgotten that we had moved the gate, so she stepped over the gate...that wasn't there. I called her name, she looked back at me and it took her a minute before she realized what she had done.

Today, I let the dogs, Scooter and Crystal, out to play in the snow. It was really bright outside from the sun shining on the snow. We went back into the house and our house is already really dark, so I couldn't see a thing. Apparently, Scooter couldn't either. Earlier I'd had the gate up between the couch and the wall to keep the dogs in the living room, but I took it down when I let the dogs out. When Scooter got to where the gate was, he jumped on the couch to get around the gate...that wasn't there.
