Stairs are always an adventure at our house. Especially that final trek up them on our way to bed. You never know what's going to happen when two humans, two dogs, and a cat try to climb 13 stairs - all at one time. Ty and I typically tread lightly...anticipating the inevitable chaos that will ensue. The other night we had a real doozy. Ty was first, followed closely by Hunter. Wally, me and the cat were all in back. Then it happened. Not sure if the cat got in the way or Wally was concentrating too hard on the "one stair at a time" concept, but he stumbled. Not just a stumble, but a full on face plant into the third stair. At almost the exact same time, Hunter was cresting the top of our climb and announced his arrival to the upstairs with a nice loud "poot" (aka - dog fart). Ahhh...the joy of it all. Meanwhile, the cat decided to hold his post at the bottom. Good choice, Rosco.
