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!

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. laughing Very cute in any event...it's nice to see one of our tripawds with so much energy!

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 laughing 

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!

That's a hoot-a-root! big-grin I'm counting my blessings that I don't have a zoomie Dante here! (of course, I'd take him!)

Her Retired AvatarComet - 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 wink

Thanks guys! big-grin

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 nowwinker

I think zoomies are a genetic thing with pitties.
