When Samantha was just a tiny puppy I started buying footstools for the bed and the couches. She likes to lie on the back of one of the couches in the sun. I've told her again and again not to jump down from there and she doesn't, for which I am grateful. Fortunately, when she doesn't use the stools she usually sort of flows to the floor. She can jump as high as 3 or 4 feet, and the scariest thing she did was jump up onto a game table which was on a marble floor. Fortunately, she called me instead of jumping down. After the second time, I always kept something on top of the table so there wasn't room for her. She's 3 kilos (about 6.6 pounds). People are always amazed that she can jump so high off the floor. I suppose that if soccer doesn't work out as a career, she can try basket ball.
