She's gone full on bat crazy ... there is no other word to describe her. Daycare did exhaust her last night (which was great) but about 5 a.m., I hear the click, click of the tiny paws in my room. Then when my alarm went off, her little paws were up on the base of my bed (she can't quite jump up there on her own which is fine since I don't want her up there till we get that peeing thing 100% under control), like she was saying, "madre, up, up, up!!!" 

When I got back from my run, I didn't have time to run her and clearly I should have when she started to do laps around my living room, up on the furniture, down, around and repeat! I must say, her jumping worries me each time she does it and I am sure, with time, I will let her be 'a dog' but I am petrified of fractures after what I went through with Shelby. She took a rolly-tumble down the stairs in her excitement to 'kill the kitties' and I darn near had a heart attack. The rational me knows that she is a dog and I can't put her in a bubble but the mom in me that went through a fracture last year is constantly worried that she's too rough with her little self! 

But yes, will get her one of those toys that has the bottle (or place for the bottle) yet it's not a sound i love to hear after a long day at work but she definitely loves them. She has killed 90% of the squeakers in all her other toys ... odd since Shelby never really killed them... just pulled the fluff out. Silly girl! 

@ Michelle - Thank you!!! I do try and breathe each time she does it ... but Shelby did the same thing for YEARS w/out incident. It was the car that was the ultimate fall that broke her leg. I try NOT to go there. And it's hard NOT to think about Jasper's 'expiration date' - kind of like how a car depreciates in value the second you drive it off the lot? I was so living with 'rose colored glasses' with Miss Shelby. And I cannot even imagine your two - they've got quite a bit of girth on little Jasper! 

@ Sally - don't give me any ideas ... hmmm... I might have some bubble wrap at home! 

@ Karen - yes! Pure manic is a great way to describe! It's like she's got a wild hair in her bonnet and off she goes ... round and round and up and down. Now my old casa had carpet but this hardwood floor adds an extra slide factor but she's gotten better about knowing where to zoom/crash (usually on the area rug). I tried to catch it on video but I was too mesmerized this a.m. It was hilarious! 

@ Bonnie - oh this girl has definitely come into her own and found her confidence! Truly amazing!!! We might try the beach tonight to see if she's still spooked! Thank you for enjoying her antics ... she's definitely a different dog than 2 1/2 months ago (and she's even getting bigger - taller). Pure joy, that one. Pure joy! 

And Shelby knew ... God bless her soul... she 100% knew what she was doing. 🙂
