Comment on The Danger of Front Loading Washers and Dryers by bonnie

oh blah – maybe the dependency on small creatures comes from having small children around for so long and then having the aforementioned grow up and away, our house cat Gomez came to a sad end last night, she always followed me around everywhere, seems she jumped in the front load washer when I was finishing up and fell asleep – she was the same steely gray color as the liner. I was busy, pre-occupied, sleepy – never realized or imagined – found her there this morning, the door had unusually been pushed shut. How sad, she was a good friend. SO, I might add, check the washer before you walk away….
