    DH and I were sitting in the lounge, watching a movie. I was on the couch and he was sitting on the floor (so I can play with his hair:)) and Harls was next to him playing with her duck. Next thing she starts running in circles, making puffing noises and behaving like an absolute fool. It had to be the zoomies. Dh can't resist and he jumped up and the two of them played tag through the house. They make SO MUCH noise but both parties have a ball. She was so so funny though.

    Hehe, zoomies are the best :)

    Luna's zoomies are very different to W&S's. She doesn't quite have the coordination (or maybe the leg length) to do the real bum tucks that they did (and still do).

    Love them all, though :)

    I LOVE it when they do zoomies. Harley still does them at 3.5 years old at least once a week :D

    It was honestly the funniest thing I have seen her do, and she is a clown. The bum tuck is hilarious.

    I LOVE their zoomies! :) Is rare to see Benson zoomie, never have seen Bramble, she is just too serious and aloof. Casper does them all the time, at 8 years old too...the King of the Zoomie :)

    I'd just like to correct this. Ella doing zoomies, on lead, during an obedience training session is something I never want to repeat :eek::eek::eek:

    I love to see them going " crackerdog " ! Sam, usually very solemn and serious, occasionally goes quite loopy in the garden , round and round the ponds , wild eyed and loving every moment , just grand x

    I'm working on "zoomies on cue". I make a "bbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrr-UP!" sound, very high pitched, wiggling my fingers at them during the "brrrr" bit and poking them on the haunches during the "UP". They have to be in the right mood, but I've had them all zooming from that at times. It's brilliant :)

    Holly does zoomies in the woods. She goes tearing through the trees jumping things then runs straight towards me and swerves at the last minute. She'll do it several times before calming down.

    Since Poppy was spayed, the incidence of zoomies has increased dramatically! Not sure what's going on there...

    Life would be sooooo boring without the zoomies - long may zoomies reign :)

    I've been trying this, to no avail! Only snow and a SUPER exciting walk seem to bring on the zoomies. The poke results in Quinn looking back at me like "are you serious? please do not" :cwl:

    This would be infinitely cool if you could pull this off. And we want video. :D
