They're not rope, it's braided trim from the decorative pillow on the chair beside Travis' bed, referred to by JM as tassels; a tassel is visible in at least one of the above photos. I believe they also found a small piece on the stairs. They appear no more than 4" long.
StephanieHartPI: WOW, what gorgeous doggie photos!! You are an excellent photographer with a great artistic eye. :star2:
Thanks to the person who posted the latest shower photo montage. To those who didn't believe Travis was aware he was being photographed until he looked over to the camera almost 3 minutes into the 8-minute shower, that montage clearly shows him looking toward the camera earlier than that, at 5:24:45. The picture is dark so most haven't studied it closely, but here's a link:
Not to mention the first two photos were shot with flash, which would have bounced off the glass shower door if it had been closed. That would be my third question to JA, how did she coax him into the shower. :what:
