I am so sorry to hear about Nash's emergency surgery but so glad he's on the mend. Have bought deep hampers w/ lids and read riot act to my guys. Java has knee-hi radar and can find one at 50 paces, I swear. Laundry room is just off mud room and if the door is open, she'll sneak in and try and snatch a sock/knee-hi treasure from an open hamper. Java also knows that I am fearless about going in after it, have no qualms about opening her mouth and flicking anything out from the back of her throat if I think she's been in stinker mode, and she tends to relax that jaw when she knows I mean business. Have to keep reminding self that I have to baby-proof all over again!
