Here is my crazy boy. This is pretty much life with Dante 24/7. He even flops around in his sleep all night, that is when he actually does sleep. We often wake up to him staring at us at 2 am, ready to go!
Notice how calm the girls are, and Coda's protest of his antics!
Zoomie! Zoomie! Zoomie!
How do you keep up with that little devil?

Sure is a crazy boy! Like Jerry asks, how do you keep up with him??? He's like a speeding bullit - the camera can't even keep up with him. 
Very cute in any event...it's nice to see one of our tripawds with so much energy!
Kami (Mackenzie's Mom)
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
Dante gets lots of naps in his crate
He's pretty much impossible to keep up with, so usually I just move all the danger out of the way, and get the camera ready!
I do have a trick though - we don`t allow the dogs on the couch most of the time, and they know if we invite them up they better behave or they get sent back to the evil floor - so he sits real still and nice when he`s on the couch!
Oh my goodness! That IS a lot of zooming! Twenty-six seconds made ME dizzy.

Birthday – November 4 2003
Amputation – January 13 2010
Crossed the Bridge – June 2 2011
That's a hoot-a-root! 
I'm counting my blessings that I don't have a zoomie Dante here! (of course, I'd take him!)
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
OMG! Pistol Dante! My dogs would put a STOP to that racing around in a hurry! Being herding dogs, they don't tolerate movement like that 
Tracy, Maggie's Mom
Maggie was amputated for soft tissue sarcoma 10-20-09
Maggie lost her battle with kidney disease on 8-24-13
Boy you are one active little guy! What a cutie you are !
Jo Ann & Tasha
Tasha 8 years old, First cancer diagnosis 6/26/09, Last cancer diagnosis 9/26/09, Amputation 10/01/09, Loving our girl moment by moment.
Tasha lost her battle and became my Angel on May 4 2011. Forever in my heart….
Thanks guys!
He is definitely a little fire cracker who has no fear. Life with him if fun, but stressful. I think he might think his name is "are you trying to kill yourself?!" instead of Dante, I find myself saying that several times a day!
Tracy the girls sometimes try to put a stop to it, but it seems their efforts have been futile and they've given up for the most part. Now they just stay out of his way and hope they don't get caught in the middle of it. Maybe I need to get myself a herding dog! LOL.
Wow! Duke does that - Trouble did in her younger days, but does good just to walk now
I think zoomies are a genetic thing with pitties.
Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging. RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.
