How did I sit on the dog? - in detail
The incident occurred during a family gathering at my sister's house. The atmosphere was lively and jovial, with children playing and adults engaged in various conversations. As the evening progressed, I found myself in the living room, where the lighting was dim and the furniture layout was unfamiliar to me.
The couch, which seemed quite inviting, was positioned against the wall, leaving little space between it and the adjacent wall. Unaware of the dog's presence, I began to sit down on the edge of the couch. Simultaneously, my sister's small but lively Pekingese, named Biscuit, was lounging in the narrow space between the couch and the wall. Biscuit was not visible from my angle due to the low lighting and the couch's design.
As I lowered myself onto the couch, my weight landed squarely on Biscuit, who let out a yelp of surprise and discomfort. The sudden sound alerted me to the presence of something beneath me, and I quickly realized that it was Biscuit. Startled, I immediately sprang up, apologizing profusely for the mishap.
The combination of unfamiliar surroundings, dim lighting, and the couch's design contributed to this unexpected incident. Fortunately, Biscuit was not injured, and after a moment of shock, we all shared a good laugh about the unusual event. The incident served as a reminder to be more mindful of one's surroundings and to consider the presence of pets in unfamiliar environments.
