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. |
Bella is not overly tiny, 4 pounds 6 ozs at 1 year. Small, but very sturdy with thicker bones. But Jett I believe is going to stay pretty tiny. He is almost 6 months and just over 2 pounds. His little legs are like pencils they are so tiny with itty bitty feet.
My Bella sounds soooooooo like your dog. She also uses the kitchen chairs to get on the table and her favorite spot is the back of the couch. I am going to get or have my hubby make a new set of stairs or ramp for our bed, this is my worry, as our sofa is very low to the ground. Then I think I will move our stairs from our room to the family room furniture, so Jett can join the family too!!!!
Thanks all for the great advice.
