  Oh, I would strongly urge you to get a ramp then.  Just please keep the hard stress that jumping requires off these tiny parts ill-designed to take such impact.  My vet told me that the tiny dog's joint is just too fragile to take the repetitive jolting of jumping without damaging the cartilage, wearing it away and then denuding bone, deforming it, destabilizing the joint.
