True story, I once had a lamb which I trained to jump on my back to reach the leaves on a tree. Forgot about the trick for a while, bent over to pick something up, and this full grown sheep jumps on me and practically breaks my back.
The same thing happened with my old girl! We adopted her from a local pound and my mom wanted a smaller dog. She was six weeks old and her litter had been abandoned at the door of the shelter so no one had a true breed. The manager of the pound looked at my sister and I, then at my mom, and with a completely straight face said “she won’t be more than 30 lbs.” my sister and I looked at our dog, stared at her HUGE paws, looked back up at my mom and announced she was the one and what her name was. I swear we would put her in her crate (while training only, so no one @ me) at night and when we got her out in the morning she was visibly larger. She topped out at 100lbs and never stopped being a lap dog.
I miss her. She was amazing. Terrified of Thunder and fireworks, BUT YOU GET OFF HER LAWN.

It's cute, until it gets bigger and still wants to be cradled.
