Oh she sounds like Laverne, she let me fiddle with her toe no problem.I may have to do that to have her in a good position; so far for the shoes she's been a darling, just standing peacefully at the sink. She pecks at the aloe plant there and hangs out. Lets me lift her foot to position the shoe under it and even tape it. When she's on my lap she lets me extend either leg out behind her to look at, sometimes extended in front a little, or below her. So I'll have to experiment. I don't want her getting overheated in a towel if possible (she would be inside the house for this).
