I found it eventually!

Time from the sighted people leaving the house for a week to me dropping something on the floor that I now cannot find?

Four hours.

LOL I hate it when that happens!

I previously had three dogs from the Seeing Eye, and they taught the first two a cool trick, if you dropped something, they would pick it up for you. One time, I was visiting a park with a friend, and my dog at the time brought her the keys she had dropped. Seeing Eye quit teaching dogs to do this though, something about it being a really tough skill to learn.

Anyway, good luck in finding your object. :)
