DOWN JUMPER CHAMPION
My 5-month-old six pounder can get on anything - but instead of jumping high - he climbs up "like a cat."
He gets on the back of the sofa, crouches down, jumps up at least a foot into the air and sails out over the front of the sofa down onto the carpet. By the time he lands, he has probably sailed 7 or 8 feet.
No matter what he jumps from -- he always jumps up and then down.
And - "NO" - I can't get there in time to stop him. I just hold my breath when I see him taking off. I'm afraid to yell, "No no." This might distract him and then he won't execute his "perfect landing" and certainly would be more apt to hurt himself.
Yes - these little Yorkies are amazing!!!
