I had my little female ball get partially inside my leather rocker/recliner - took my eyes off her for a few minutes and she was halfway gone. I had my wife push down on the seat cushion so that I could get my hands further up her body to gently take out. I learned my lesson there! And then one night I had her out and let her crawl up our wrought iron railing on our stairway. She stopped halfway up and decided that she was staying put - amazing how much leverage the little buggar has!
