What is it when Dolce ...out of the blue takes off running around the house at super speed.....around in circles ...up and down the hallway......

we have a hard time catching him.....and then.....he just stops...

We sort think he is angry and cant pick what triggers this off..

DOLCE's DAD'S

We call that the "zoomies" at our house. Mine do it every night when we sit down to eat dinner, then again right before bedtime, and any time we come in the door after being gone a bit. Enjoy the entertainment

We call it doing the "crazy dog". It's like a sudden burst of energy. She just takes of and goes round and round until she is tired. Then lays down, like whew what was that. I always have to laugh.

Chloe Primrose does it too. Always at night and right before bedtime. I think she gets her last wind and has to blow off steam then she just collapses and goes to sleep.

What does it mean? I think it means they are happy, and know they are loved and safe. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it. Yogi and Gracie Ruth do the zoomies nearly every night before bed. Of course theirs is accomplished by ferocious growls and barks because it sometimes seems as though they are chasing down some imaginary big game to feast on. You know, like they would be doing if they were still running in packs in the wilds of Yorkshire.

Harley and Tayah do it also!! All of a sudden they are chasing each other all around the house like crazy!!! A friend once told me its Pup T.V. I think it is just one of those Yorkie things!!!!!

Zoomies, I love it! Rio has zoomies, and Hope attacks him when he runs through the den. She waits for him and jumps him! Yes, it is tons better than TV!

Don't know what triggers it, but I hope she never stops doing it. We've never thought she was angry. Never knew what triggered it, but she seems to enjoy it as much as we do. Roxy's hard enough to catch if she doesn't want to be caught when she's not in one of these moments. I'd never even attempt it when she's having her Yorkie moments. : ) 'Zoomies' is a good word for it. She started this within a few days of bringing her home. Sit back & enjoy!

'Zoomies', yep sums it up! Nolee does this also! I believe it is just extra energy they need to burn off. It sure is cute! Can't believe how fast they can run! LOL!

Zoomies!! That is so cute! We call it Freeway at our houses. Everyone yells "Freeway, Mia is on the freeway watch out"!!

I think it is because she is happy. Usually it happens after a bath or when she is happy!
