Like the OP, she is also a jumper - straight up and down, sometimes on all fours, sometimes boinging up and down on her hind legs like a kangaroo. If we hadn't decided to keep her 'Sugar' name, we would have called her 'Roo (even though she's more like Tigger : )

She can jump on the couch and even a pillowtop bed but we quickly taught her those were off-limits. She does, however, try to use the kitchen chairs to jump onto the table so we have to move them away from the table overnight or whenever we are away.

Mine weighed 3 lbs. Very small. The fragility is one of the things one has to accept when we willingly buy a tiny dog.
