Last night, after the evenng walk, the backyard trips (2) which include chasing the ball, and all the oher routine stuff, I settled in bed to read. Lacey snuggled next to me and then started similar to what you described. I took her out in the back yard (AGAIN!) and she blitzed around in the heat for over FIVE MINUTES! It was just pent up energy and excitement. She is 5 years of age, so not a puppy; but bichons are known for blitzing so I watch for it.

Just thought I'd pass this along.
With Chopper being a puppy in these evening hours when this happens he is probably outside about 30 minutes(for potty breaks)for 10 minutes or so. He gets those bursts of energy too. Thanks.
