[Dailydrool] Escape artist redux

[Pam McQuade]

When I sent this message last time, I forgot that I needed to use Outlook 
Express for the Drool to read it. Since I know many folks (like me) cannot 
read the HTML format without going into the archives, here the post is 
again, hopefully in a readable format.

I am still over a week behind on the Drools, but I still had to ask the 
advice of those who have escape artists.

Jane, Bel and Abner have a new cousin, Pixie. She is a springer spaniel who 
lives in Cornwall with my nephew and his mom and stepfather. Seems that 
Pixie, who is six months old, is an escape artist. They have currently 
gotten her a doghouse and a chain.

Naturally I was not thrilled to hear about the chain. I know they can be 
dangerous for dogs, both physically and emotionally, so I warned them about 
those things. I also told them that I would check with the Drool to see if 
there was any advice on this subject.

They have just rebuilt the fence to try to keep her in--sorry, I don't know 
the fence details at this point.

Any advice/wisdom that I can pass along?

much escaping, except for the times....
