Rain Boots

So Hailey hates to wear shoes outside. She likes to "put feet in the grass". Whatever. Not a big deal to me; I don't really like shoes either. But I did make the rule that if we're in our yard she doesn't have to wear shoes but if we go into someone else's we do.
So the other day our neighbor was working in his yard trimming trees and his dog was outside who Hailey loves. She wanted to go see Holden (the dog) so I told her she had to put on shoes. The only ones that she agreed to put on were her rain boots, and I'm pretty sure it was only because she could put them on by herself.
Can we say Miss Independent?
