I swear I want to put Ricky in a bubble. He's become quite the little daredevil. I guess he doesn't realize he's a dainty 4 lb yorkie. He will jump off the arms of the couch and the end of the bed, despite there being dog stairs in both places....and he has biffed it several times. Today, he decided he would jump from a chair and onto my lap onto the floor(without me realizing he'd be dumb enough to take the plunge) .....and fell a little short. The other day, he got his foot caught on blankets as he was running to jump off the bed and did 3 somersaults on the floor.

He is fine boned and has long, string bean legs. He's taller than my 8.5 lb yorkie!! I think it's only a matter of time before he hurts himself with his ruthless behavior. What can I do to stop him from doing something stupid??

BTW, he knows how to use his stairs. He just only chooses to use them when he wants to...and even with those, he's bolted up and down them so fast that he's tripped. He's just not careful at all.
