LOL!<br />
Not just Fergus, relax :).<br />
My girls sleep on my bed and take their sleeping hours very seriously! This means that they might go to bed before me if we have someone over for dinner. They cry and bother everyone unitl I get up, tell them to come to bed, go in the bedroon with them, tell them to get in bed. Then I have to talk and pet both until they settle. And right before I leave the bedroom... Good night Kiss to each, otherwise I have two red things following me back to the living room...…

Strange is a relative term ... my irish have done pretty much everything listed here (butt on couch/feet on floor, carrying around underwear in front of company!!, and so forth!) I prefer the term "quirky" or "endearing"!! Cosmo is really into eating dirt ... he nips it out of the potted plants or settles in for a snack in the yard while I'm hanging out the wash. I suppose it could be a nutritional deficiency symptom, but give he's a setter, I just assume he enjoys getting my attention!!…

Norna sits on you! she will clamb on your knee every chance she gets. At ringcraft its embarrassing to see this ladylike IRWS clambering onto my knee (or anyones) so that she can sit and watch what is going on!

Dash does the same thing! I'm glad to know it appears to be a Setter trait, not just a Dash-only weirdness! Dash will also simply plop his butt down on your lap, if you are sitting.

Like the others, Dash has to carry something in his mouth all of the time. When we go for walks, he'll stuff two or three things in his mouth - balls, toys, pieces of rawhide chews - and bring them along, dropping them along our way. Sometimes he'll pick up items he's left on previous walks and sometimes he picks up things that don't belong to him - we've got a signed baseball here that I know isn't ours but I can't figure where it came from.

Cash always has to have something in his mouth. A stuffed monkey, a towel, my husbands boxer shorts, something! When we come home, he first runs to his toy box to grab something and whines with it in his mouth while greeting us.<br />
He will even take it in the yard to while peeing. He sound so much like everyone else's posts that I am beginning to believe it is a breed thing. Dublin used to drags his blanket all over the house too. Cash spends hours a day with a tennis ball in his mouth and plays…

Dublin used to drags his blanket all over the house too. Cash spends hours a day with a tennis ball in his mouth and plays hockey with another ball. Swatting it all over and under everything. He uses his paws really well.
