Cleo the labrador made a nearly 60-mile trek from Kansas back to her old home in Missouri, which she and her family moved away from two years ago! No one is sure how she made the trip, which would have required her to cross at least one river! 3. Collars on men's dress shirts used to be detachable to save on laundry costs and labor, as this part of the shirt needed cleaning more often.
