Coco will come around and will be in your sewing room patiently waiting for you to play with her. At a 1 1/2 our shepherd/border collie has finally stopped taking socks outside. Last winter when the snow was finally gone, we found socks, dish towels, and a spool of thread outside. Don't know if we will ever stop her from wanting to chase the neighbor's cat. If she is not in her fenced area she has to be on the leash.
