Oh man, Nova was the same. She was afraid to jump off my bed up until a couple months ago. Such big dogs to be afraid of something like that! Actually, come to think of it, she still doesn't jump off. I had gotten a new piece of furniture that sits at the end of my bed and she steps off onto that and then the ground. I guess that's easier on her hips, though.
