Don't tell George!!

Harvey, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, who used a trampoline to escape over a garden fence in York has been reunited with his owners.
Three year old Harvey often joined the children bouncing on the equipment in their garden.
Miss Kidson said: "The fence isn't all that high, but he couldn't get over it on his own and must have used the trampoline to bounce himself into my neighbour's garden and got out. He's something of an escape artist and he has got out before, but not for a long time and we were just starting to think he's stopped all that."

Priceless! Do NOT let George see this - he doesn't need encouragement.

Wow. You sure can tell some differences between Wales and the US by that one photo. Staffordshire bull terriers are known as pitbulls here, and most people are afraid of them (in some places they're illegal to own). And no one would allow photos of their children jumping on a trampoline to be published in a newspaper. The insurance companies would be right over to either demand the trampoline be removed from your property (too much liability) or to increase your insurance rates to a level that you could never reasonably afford -- meaning the trampoline would be removed from your property in either case.

If you owned a trampoline, no doubt George would become an avid bouncer and an even more masterful escape artist.

We have a trampoline which the grandchildren love to jump on. (No, I don't use it--I'd probably fall off.) Now you know--do not buy a trampoline!
