What are the chances?

For the last several weeks that my MOm and YuKi have been here I have tried to talk my Mom into letting the dog.... I mean YuKi, be alone on the deck. Now, I know that the deck is two stories up off of the ground but, it is not like it does not have railing. Railing that has been built to code. In true dog owner fashion MOm will not let YuKi out on the deck alone as she knows that she will attempt to jump off the deck. Mind you there are several plants in large pots that line the railing and I truly believe that YuKi is smart enough to not jump off the deck! I feel for you pouchy!!!
