Orage ? Green or Blue..? Glowing at night....

[Kyoko]

Since we have snow on the ground, I have been taking them out late at night in the yard and let them play in the snow before the bed time instead of usual potty break.

Today, I noticed that Charlie's eyes ( Choc. F1b) glow in orange color, while Pinot Grigio's eyes ( Cream standard) glow in icy blue!!

I thought may be it was an angle or something, but it wasn't. They consistently glowed in orange and blue. I thought this was pretty interesting!!

What color do your doodles eyes glow at night...?

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Hmmm, I want to say green but I'm not sure. I'll have to pay more attention when it warms up enough for us to resume our evening walks!

Kyoko,

Do you give them eye drops. My eye drops make my eyes blue in the dark and certain light. Creepy really

You have been swimming up by the Perry Nuclear Power Plant  a few months back  :) 

Actually, I dont know what  color Spud's eyes glow but I really think I want to say Gold

[Kyoko]

It's probably from Mercella Shell fracking water.. LOL.

Both of their eyes are light / hazel brown in the light. I thought this was strange and interesting....

[F, Calla & Luca]

Ugh, fracking.

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

Frack Frack Frack!

We have now become the capitol of Fracking here.

They sell us... " You will all be rich soon"

Well, that's a bunch of Frack

[Kyoko]

Greenish gold. We once had a discussion on gold eye in Photography with lots of retinal facts.

This is what it said on NPR science series..." Science out of the box."

A large number of animals have the tapetum lucidum, including deer, dogs, cats, cattle, horses and ferrets. Humans don't, and neither do some other primates. Squirrels, kangaroos and pigs don't have the tapeta, either.

And not all eyes animals' glow the same color. Powell says this is due to different substances — like riboflavin or zinc — in an animal's tapetum. "Also," she says, "there are varying amounts of pigment within the retina, and that can affect the color." Age and other factors also can change the color, so even two dogs of the same species could have eyes that glow different colors.

Yup it's the tapetum lucidum that accounts for the frequent gold glow. At night I try to keep an eye out for deer eyes at the edge of the road.

Very interesting! I haven't a clue what colors my doods' eyes glow, but its my guess they're yellowish gold. I'll have to check  it out!
