Bella has not ventured down the basement stairs since she came to live here 10 months ago. I think it is because they aren't carpeted and maybe seem like they'd be difficult to manage.

My other poodles (at the Rainbow Bridge) did not want to go down there either because that's where we use to groom them and it wasn't their idea of a particularly good time! Bella has only been groomed upstairs so I think her concern is just the fact that the stairs are wooden and have no traction.
