You should have SEEN the leap my pit bull did early this morning. I woke because my two girls had spotted a mouse (!) and were in hot pursuit. It apparently sought shelter under a huge bank of lantana (the whole thing is about 12 feet long, six feet wide, and at least 5 feet tall). The pit launched herself (Nureyev style) over the top of most of the width and height, connecting at the apex of the hedge, though I must say the landing wasn't pretty (Chevy Chase style). But it worked--the mouse fled, but it escaped up the fence. My lantana has a pit bull-sized part down the middle now.
