<p>Drool, go drink a lot of water and run immediately to mom and lay your head in her lap. This is particularly effective if mom is wearing her jammies and ready for bed.</p>

<p>I re-hung the wire fence around my garden to make it taller as there is a big hole dug up right in the middle. Ellie just jumped over it like it wasn't there. So much for that effort I guess. The strawberries are up but nothing else is as yet. I managed to get her with the hose the other day, it is pretty frigid water, she did NOT like that. I haven't seen her go back in but she might be burglering when I'm not watching.</p>

<p>In our park there is a securely fenced area to keep the children in (my interpretation!) but Arthur has found a way in and he greets me with great delight from the other side of the fence!</p>
<p>I tried upside down lever handles and William ,who could open any door,soon learnt how the handle worked.</p>
<p>I have never had a setter that would jump walls or fences or anything higher than 18" but there will be a first,I just know it!</p>
<p>Some lovely stories on here and the fridge one rang…</p>

<p>Did anyone mention about them being escapologists when they see another dog, person or child that they would like to meet and make friends ?? or should I say jump drool and lick to death. We have a brick wall round one side of the garden which gets lower the further down you go because our first setter who is 4 1/2 never attempted to jump it we thought we were ok with the puppies how wrong were we !!

<p>Found something else that is missing: Remove all door furniture and replace with round ones, or if this would work out too expensive replace with leavers BUT fit them upside down. Now for 3 days take any meat products out of the fridge and scatter them on the floor ( mix well ) on the 4th. day fit an elastic strap around the fridge (to resemble a lock ) now pull the fridge into the middle of the kitchen, so as to pull the plug out and leave for 2 hours. <:0)</p>

<p>I noticed someone mentioned drool, so yes, I would recommend going out to your garden and collect some slugs at which point you rub them all over your sleeves at the wrists...your new puppy attire.</p>
