| Can your Yorkie jump.... Can your Yorkie jump on the furniture without the aid of steps or stairs? Since the day we brought Darla home she would crawl up furniture and within a week she was jumping on and off...now she FLIES around the house and can rush up and down the stairs 3 at a time...she is part bird I think lol.. Reece on the other hand has been with us for 5 weeks and although he puts alot of effort into it...he cant jump on anything yet and has just mastered the steps outside. He bounces and bounces and just cant grasp the idea of pushing himself forward to jump up. He is MUCH bigger than Darla was at this age but cant find his 'wings' yet lol... So what about your babies?? Dawn |

| Morning Dawn! Gage actually "flys" when he jumps...LOL! I swear he has springs in his hind legs that just propel him "up and away"!! If he really put a lot of thought and concentration into it, I believe he could jump over the child gate I have between my kitchen and living room! Gabby, on the other hand, can't jump like she used to. She will be 10 years old in February and is showing signs of arthritis in her hips We are having a ramp made for her to help aid in getting her up on the sofa. Suzi

| My girls could get just about anywhere at a very young age. Cody, my boy, has just mastered jumping up on the couch a few weeks ago and he just turned 8 months old. He has always been less "hyper" than the girls and prefers to just be picked up instead of having to do it himself. Lazy boy! lol |

| chloe amazes me on how high she can jump, shes so good on figuring out how to do things. The first day we brought her home she figured out in 5 minutes how to get down the steps, and within an hour she mastered how to jump on the couch. What amases me most is that she can jump on my moms bed which is pretty close to three ft high.

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Jumping Oh my God YES lol. Stedman started climbing up on the couch, literally, a few days after we first brought him home He will fly over from the couch, to the ottoman, and fly up on the over stuffed chair and then prance over to the very back of the over stuffed chair and just perch himself up there and stare out the window. He likes to watch the cars drive by. We call him our little acrobat And he ALMOST has jumping up on our bed mastered, but he's JUST A HAIR off! Hubby's like omg, if he could just get a LITTLE more air, he'd have it. lol. I think we're going to get him the 3-step doggie steps for the bed, but he can jump up on everything else

| I've told Shana this before. Kacee is a wonder to watch when she jumps sometimes. It almost looks like she's floating downward when she's landing. I've never seen anything like it in my life!

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Bengi can jump into the couch, chairs, my bed. He even climbs the baby gate, so my hubby had to make a taller gate that's like 3 feet tall! He first made one that was like 2 1/2 feet but he would still climb it! |

| All of mine jump up and down off everything except my bed. It is really high so they have steps to get on it. |
