His legs were actually shorter then Sunni's are. The doors to the rooms upstairs are all closed if I'm not home, and she literally just mastered going down the stairs today. I sort of have the opinion with her that if I can't beat her at her game, then I have to teach her mine, lol. She does love to jump up and down on the sofa downstairs...so I have short soft ottoman for her to step on to get up and off the sofa. She uses it for that and will get on it to nap. |
Wow she has really grown, I am surprised that she has trouble getting on the couch or using the stairs, for her the stairs must be more of a fright thing, are your stairs wood? Also she might not know how to properly jump, it took Lola a while to learn how to jump on something, she would jump up straight like a pogo stick, usually higher than what she wanted to land on, but not jump on to it, just straight up in the air past it, my last yorkie jumped the same way but he was smaller, so finally he just started waiting for us to pick him up. Not that I am trying to encourage jumping it's just some dogs don't get how to land on something, it's really sort of funny
