  6. So is the soundtrack the Van Halen or the Pointer Sisters version of Jump? I always thought Jumpin' Jehoshaphat was a pretty funny saying, but I would particularly apply it to the dog.

  9. Ah, but that's only the recorded, competitive jump! I bet someone's greyhound has gone higher! They certainly seem as if they can!

    My first, Jim, could clear a five-barred gate from standing, although I can't swear that he didn't put a foot on the top. If he could do it so effortlessly, I bet there are more that could jump 66 inches!

    And they told me at Wood Green Animal Shelters that 'greyhounds don't jump'. Hahahahahahahahaha!! LOL!
