White Dogs Can't Jump
My little white dog's got no game. He completely lacks the ability to jump. Not on sofas, not in the car, not up on the bed. (Which is why he rings his bell to tell me when he wants to be lifted into my bed.) I'm sure his circus-performing ancestors are weeping in shame.
Of course, if His Cat is involved, suddenly he can fly through the air with the greatest of ease. Nothing is too high for him, as long as His Cat is there.
It's weird how each dog has his favored cat to torture. My big dog is always after the black-and-white cat, but it's all about the gray cat for the little dog. He couldn't care less about B&W, or at least he doesn't suddenly develop the ability to jump wherever that cat is.
