 "Zoomies"
My husband and I actually wait for the times our Yorkie gets the bionic urge to zoom around the house following the same path back and forth for a few times. She does it to some extent every night regardless of the amount of exercise she has gotten during the day.
I know from reading here that other Yorkies do the same thing. My question is whether anyone has ever heard any explanation or reasoning for this?
We find it highly amusing and it never gets old. In fact, if one of us is out of the room when it happens, we tease that the other one missed the excitement for the night...LOL (Honestly, we could sell tickets...NASCAR has nothing on our girl when she's in her racing mode.)
The very first time it happened, I had just given her a bath and (mistakenly...LOL) thought she was trying to air dry herself and/or protesting the bath even though she had seemed to enjoy it. That was several months ago and very early in our relationship with her. Little did I know that this would become one of our favorite quirky things she does.
It's one of the times I wish she could speak words I could understand because I'd really like in on the secret spurt of energy she gets that causes her to suddently accelerate to the speed of light...
One has to wonder if those researching energy sources have ever studied a Yorkie's "zoomies" ... LOL |
