Hyperactiveness

[dundeemax]

I worry about Max, he races from room to room at high speed, and all we see is a flash of fur. When I try to talk him down and actually get a hold of him, he pants heavily, and his eyes look a little wild. He always fall sound asleep soon after.

Is there something wrong with him?

[ARCHIE]

LOL Nope that's a Yorkie for you.
Buddy is 4 and he still does that from time to time.
Pups are, for the most part, hyper. They need their excercise.
Do you walk him? Perhaps a couple of walks a day might poop him
out and he won't be so hyper in the house. He'll calm down, some,
as he get's older. I didn't expect such a hyper pup either but I soon
learned this is how is. It will get better.

Thank you Buddy,

I was really worried. I play outside with him, but my husband and I are both disabled, so long walks aren't an option at the moment.
I'm playing football with him and my daughter takes Max running when she visits.

We are visiting New York for our second time in November.

I agree with everything Archie said. Max is just a puppy! You should see my two right before bed. It's like they realize it's bedtime and suddenly get a second wind!

It's perfectly normal. It's what a lot of people here call the zoomies.
I laugh so hard when Gus does it (he makes a sound as he runs that cracks me up) and the more I laugh the faster he runs. Funny for me and good exercise for him.

[For My Coby]

Yup normal.

But I was sooo excited. About two days before Coby turned one, he suddenly "slowed down" a little. It was like magic. He became more snuggly and even sweeter than he already was. He still has more energy than any dog should have. But now there are special "moments" in between.

I am so glad you guys cleared that up for me, I thought I would have to take my baby to the Vet to see what was going on. Sebastian always runs through the house like he's Valentine Lew's great grandson or something. I am so thankful I have you guys to answer questions like these. Have a great day everyone.

[dundeemax]

Thank you everyone, at least I know there's nothing wrong with Max. How can their little hearts stand the pace lol.

I have to laugh, our doctor advised us to get a little dog lol. I wonder what he'd think of Max. He'd probably say, "what a beautiful little chap he is", lol, and not know the mischief he gets up to.

Kayla does the same thing. I am scared to death she is going to kill herself. My schnauzers just sit and look at her. She torments them so bad by chewing on their legs that when she starts to run they will sit and snap at her and she is already gone and on her way back before they get their mouth closed. It is sooooo funny to watch them. But, I know how you feel. I can't get around real good right now from recovering from back surgery and now my knees are killing me. I hate to do it, but sometimes when I need to get things done I just put Kayla in her kennel. They are a mess, but you can't keep from loving the little bugggers.

[dundeemax]

LOl, they certainly take your mind off the things you can no longer do. You're too busy wondering what they're up to.

Whenever Diddy gets the "zoomies" it scares me too. I am so afraid he is going to hurt himself because he runs so fast that he falls or slides into a wall.
