I have a new dog that I got from the local animal shelter.
- I am loving her and enjoying spending time with her.
She is always doing something funny,a dn in fact, the dog trainer I hired and also I myself believe she is still a puppy. The shelter staff said she is about four years old, but we don’t believe that by the way she behaves. One thing she does is get the zoomies. When I had my golden retriever many years ago, he too, got the zoomies, but back then it was known as FRAP, which stands for frantic random activity period. Anyway, zoomies are not common in adult dogs. My dog has zoomies every day, and it is so funny to watch her. She runs about 50 miles per hour and then she gets exhausted. That is when it is funniest because she can’t decide whether she wants to get water or run to the a/c air vent. She needs both water and air conditioning, and sometimes she stands between the water bowl and the a/c air vent trying to decide where to go first. It’s hilarious! Usually, I will call her over to the water bowl to help her out and make the decision for her. Of course, while she is drinking, I am standing over the a/c air vent enjoying the air conditioning for myself! If you are going to have a puppy who gets the zoomies, you need to be sure to keep the ceiling fan running, keep the a/c thermostat set low, and keep a full bowl of water on the floor. And you may have to help your pup choose between a/c and water!
