| ha ha .. Ladybug is my teapot and she weighs 16 lbs! Mike is over 6 feet tall and when Ladybug wants a treat, she can jump straight up and bounce her back feet off of Mike's butt!. LOL... She thinks she can fly! and she of course is the only one who sleeps in the classic "superman flying" stance Then again, because she is so big, we don't call her a teapot, we call her our crockpot

| Buddy has springs in his feet. He used to jump over a baby gate at 35" when he was 16wks. I had to put one on top of the other to keep him in the kitchen. Today he jumps up on my bed and it's 32" from the floor. I worry about his hips also so the bedroom door is closed during the day to keep him from jumping up there. Only during the night does he get up there when I'm sleeping to cuddle. He's not suppose to be on the bed at all but I make believe I don't know he's there. |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Ozzie is 14 pounds and 10.5 years old. He doesn't always make it on the first try, but he still jumps up and down from the sofa and loveseat. While he HAS jumped off my bed, I have always discouraged it and so he doesn't usually even try unless he's up there and something is going on in the house that has him riled. |

| I think Toto is "spring loaded". He weighs 10 lbs. Seems like he just bounces straight up off the floor. My bed is high also, but he has no trouble jumping up on it.

| My Alyssa is 5 years old and weighs l0 pounds. She is the only yorkie that Petco in Chattanooga has ever had to jump over their outside dog door where the dogs enter and leave. It is probably 3 feet high. Everytime I take her in the ladies remind everyone not to leave her unattended in the outside office. She did her "famous jump" from a still flat footed position. That is exactly why we have a metal 4 foot gate from PetSmart. (The only gate we have found to contain her). Her daddy bought it for her for her birthday. Guess that is one birthday present she would rather have done without. LOL

| Both of my boys could jump up to my face if I let them. Other people think its cute, and don't realize what its doing to their joints when they do that.
