I'm getting a kick out of reading all of these posts!
Many years ago, when Muffin was still a puppy, I walked into the family room and she was sitting on the top of th back of the recliner! Scared me to death!
When she was excited, I swear she would jump from the back of the couch in the living room and land halfway out in the living room.
I was always scared to death she'd break something. Her legs weren't long. She had short legs.
