I wonder how many times she’s thought aboutgiving him the “BOOT”?

Earl’s been to the dog house a lot.That’s probably where he got what he’s getting all over the carpet.

Opal won’t let him have any friends of any kind.

I don’t know but those rabbit leave a lot of pellets on the floor.

No wearing boots in the house Earl.

I used to keep a bootjack by the front door to remove my boots when I came home.

We never wore shoes or boots in our house. Flip flops, slippers, socks, or barefoot were acceptable. I never insisted ( as others I know did ) that guest likewise remove their outside footwear when entering my home, although many friends did.

Of course, to go shoeless requires that you keep your floors clean and free of clutter – not so easily achieved if you’ve got little ones. Comfy slippers or flip flops are the answer !

Opal, you’re turning into a proper nag.

I love Opal’s bunny slippers. Yes, I know she’s had them forever.

“The carpet’s the only way I know to get ’em REALLY clean.”

It’s a good 20 years since Earl did any yardwork to get those boots dirty!
