Peri taught a cairn terrier how to do a zoomie!

So, I think it is safe to say that 99% of our doodles have the occasional zoomie :)

 

I just don't think other breeds do this as much!  For example, my mom and dad's cairn terrier, Lucy (aka Lucinda the imposter who stays with us from time-to-time), has never zoomed in her life.  Until recently.

 

Up until now, we have not had a yard. So every Sunday, it's dinner at my parents. The dogs come, Peri plays outside and zooms, figure 8 style, around the back yard. Lucy just sits there and stares and barks at her!  Literally, this has been happening for almost 22ish months now!

 

Mom calls me up yesterday and says "Ally, PERI TAUGHT LUCY TO ZOOM!".  Lucy had a huge zoomie around the entire backyard and was "showing off" according to my mom. She saw a deer and did a zoomie, then came and passed out on my mom's lap. 

 

How hilarious!  So, do you think she learned this from her "niece" Peri???

 

Anyone know of other dogs that zoom as much as ours???

Looks like Peri taught her the doodle pose too!

What a good teacher Lady P. is.  My sister has a 3 year old Westie that has the zoomies.  My sister calls the turbo dogs.

Way to go, Peri. You are doing your job of teaching dogs everywhere how to zoom!!

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

Mom was happy!  Both mom and dad LOVE Peri and LOVE it when she has her zoomies.  We just sit around laughing at her.  So they think Lucy sometimes doesn't have enough "spunk" and she was THRILLED!

Porter taught a six-yr-old GR mix who rarely barked at anything to bark at the garbage collectors...and more.  What a proud moment for me. (Not)

Yay, Lucy with her first zoomie!

So was your Mom happy that Peri taught Lucy how to zoom or is she now considered a "bad influence"?  My DD's Golden Retriever can zoom with the best of them.  When he and Murph get to zooming we "gather up the kids" and gate ourselves on the deck.  They run full speed for about 10 minutes, and then they collapse.

She is precious!  How can that possibly be a comfortable position???
