| Leaping Lizards Well Milo has discovered something new, jumping off the bed...I don't mean sliding of the edge into a ball on the floor. He stands on the edge, takes a good look and launches himself. He is like a cat, he lands on all fours and takes off running, not a yelp or a squeak out of him. The first time he did it I thought I was going to have a heart attack...He never ceases to amaze me. |

| That trick may get him in trouble. Undue stress on the legs and possible broken bones. But, yes, they are amazing little dogs! Like flying squirrels at times, lol.

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | KS has been known to do this too when she's feeling frisky. I bought pet stairs to set up by the couch she jumps off of and she now uses those. She hasn't done it in a long time so I'm hoping it was a phase or she saw how stairs could be just as easy and fun. Lol

| I got a ramp for mine...they have now developed a fondness for sliding down the ramp...makes me so much happier...not so worried about broken bones or torn ligaments! |

| Oh MiloIt's hard to get them not to jump! Georgie has become very used to the steps and I am so glad. He had major surgery in September and jumped off the bed once since then and I like you almost had a heart attack. I think he realized it and hasn't jumped off again.

| Corky does it all the time.. He jumps off and off the bed. He is a larger dog, So I have never worried about him hurting himself. I can assume he done it in the last house, because he never used the steps I got for him. |
