Hi, I hope this is ok, I´d just like to hear stories of mischief your Cocker Spaniels have gotten up to. Are other people´s Cockers particularly mischievious? I have 2 dogs, one a Cocker and one not (he´s a mystery mutt of some Jack Russell-Dachshund-Chihuahua) and it´s only the Cocker who ever gets into mischief.
Baxter´s transgressions usually involve food...and escapes. I've got it all under control now, but when I first adopted him I thought my back yard was escape-proof because the other dog hadn't gotten out in the 2 years I´d had him, but oh, was I wrong. In the period before I gave up and instituted a no-cocker-spaniels-loose-in-the-backyard rule, Baxter got out for extended periods (by which I mean a couple of hours) twice, and was recovered once at Wendy's (a couple blocks away) and once trying to enter the maternity ward of the hospital down the street! (It´s on the 5th floor...he had apparently come up through the parking garage). The woman who brought him back looked like she was taking a break between contractions...
