Does your doodle jump on the trampoline? With or without the kids?

[Susan Davis]

Our doodles like to jump on the trampoline... at first it was to play with the kids. When they realized that it was springy, they didn't seem to enjoy being "double-bounced". Later we noticed they would lie on the tramp when the kids weren't even out there. Now we periodically see 3 of them out there goofing off and playing together, appearing to use the surface as a springboard for well-planned jumps onto each other's heads... just like when the kids play on it. It is truly bizarre!

We don't have a trampoline anymore but all 4 of my dogs love it when we close up the pool for the winter so they can lay on, play on, run across and stand on the pool cover. It is sort of like a trampoline in that it bounces and is springy and every time they go out they go right to the cover. On warm sunny days they lay out on the cover sunning themselves and when they play, they will flip over and roll over like kids having fun.

That is soooo cute! My neighbors golden retriever jumps on their trampoline as well... he loves to go with her two boys... Your doodles must look so cute playing on it ...you should video tape it if you can and post it...it would be awesome!

Thanks. I just can't picture this on my own.

Darwin likes to be on the trampoline with us, he'll run around and chase us, etc. But he probably wouldn't jump up on his own. Likely because he's too small. We'll see what happens when he is full grown.
