What is the big deal? Now boots go in the floor right by the bed (you know ‘cause they might have horse poop on them) and hat on the bedpost where the cowboys and girls hang them so they don’t get crushed. Perfectly reasonable. I made a lot of my daughter’s costumes and my grandson’s that doubled as PJ’s.
Back in the days when girls were require to wear dresses to school we all wore shorts under dresses. Otherwise, how could you play the monkey bars etc?
Wagging tails knock pieces to the floor. That said, I had a lab who pulled the glass head pins out of my sewing, that was up on the sewing table and ate them. We learned when one burst through her neck and they found the others in her stomach. Lot of vet bills.
So do my cats and a few of them used to be the dog’s before he went over the rainbow bridge.
