I am thankful that he has little stumpy legs instead of supermodel long legs as I think stumpy may be a bit sturdier, but I am still distressed every time I read a post about a broken leg.
Oh me too! My Fletch scares me! He jumps from the back of the couch onto the wood floor! He used to do it at the condo onto the tile floor! He jumps from the bed onto the wood floor, so does Dex. I had the vet check his knees the other week (again) and they are in GREAT condition she said. Actually (beaming mom moment here) she could not believe my baby was 8 years old. She said looking at him overall, clear eyes, shiny hair, alertness, good teeth, great knees/hips... she would have put him at about 5 years old.
