im SO SCARED!

[wemple2]

Same here...And if I'm in the basement doing laundry...I swear it sounds like a herd of elephants running around upstairs. Yes it's the zoomies...and yes it's hilarious to watch, and hear!!!

Yep, its a normal thing alright. We call Adie the roadrunner when she gets her motor running. She likes to slip in a rear attack on Cassie as she passes by. I think every dog does that at one time or another. Consider it to be a sign of security. She feels sooooooooooo good she is about to burst and has to expel the energy. It is adorable!

"Rabbit on Crack" perfect wording

Yep Buddy does that exact thing. Picture a 15lbs Yorkie taking off like
the wind out of nowhere and running down the hall into the bedroom
under the bed out the other side back down the hall jumping on the couch
running the lengh jumping onto the love seat jumping on the floor running
around the coffee table back down the hall under the bed again and
repeat it all over panting like a mad dog and doing it all over again.

It' hysterical to watch. Of course I egg him on by clapping my hands as
he runs right past me completeing his course.

We call that "the wild dog" or "butt tucking" (bc they run so fast their back legs and butt get in front of their front legs. hehe). It's hilarious! I love it when my dogs do it!

[chattiesmom]

We call it whizzing or zooming..... My guys will start a game of chase and they become "superdog" leaping up on and flying off of furniture, Boo the elderly Boxer and anything else in their way. They look like small furry speeding torpedoes.....

This is Ozzie -- and he'll be 10 this month! We call it "wildman mode."

With your puppy, I think maybe she was just finally "coming into her own." I don't think puppies always are comfy in their new surroundings, so they are cautious and quiet initially.

Yeap, that's it exactly!

Same here! Miko does laps around the house all crazy and he doesn't bark, but he makes little noises. LOL! It's hysterical!

I never realized there was a name for it. I remember my first Yorkie one time having a "zoomie" moment and her brother (not a Yorkie) got in the act too. Well, he was normally very laid back and after a few laps he just flopped. My Yorkie kept going and didn't even realize he had dropped out of the race.

I know you were serious when you started this thread...I can only hope you understand Yorkies much better now.

Zoomies, GO GOes, or whatever you want to call it, it is pretty darn funny!

When Emmy starts the obstacle course thingy, I, too, egg her on by clapping and chasing! It is just too much fun to miss out on it. Now that we have little Oscar (since Friday), he is joining in on the fun. They will tussle with each other and then WATCH OUT! They are on the run...it is soo funny!

This is so funny. I just love to watch when Sophie gets out of the bathtub. She runs around the house and rubs her face on everything. She has so much energy!

I have heard these acts called "FRAP". Frequent rapid activity period....My little Pita goes on Fraps, I also had a beagle go on Fraps. He would just start bouncing off the walls until he would exhaust himself. It was fun..he would have blast entertaining himself. I wouldnt be scared...I would sit back and enjoy the happiness!!

[Beanlisa]

My little Pita also rubs her face on everything she can after a bath...it is sooo fun. Im glad Im not the only one that gets to witness how cute that is!
