The Zoomies


rob told me recently that when pets are racing around the house like they want you to chase them, there's a name for that: the zoomies. i looked it up, and he's right. i can't believe humans haven't borrowed this word for drinking too much coffee. we just get the shakes. i can just imagine a conversation between the pet's owner and a neighbor:

neighbor: what's with your dog?
owner: oh, she's ok... it's just the zoomies

I got the same problem with two little girls. I guess calling it the "Zoomies" is less confusing then calling it the "Runs" (lol).

The Zoomies. I'm so glad that's now in my vocab.

Dogs in the house.
Kids on the playground.
Customers at Homer's.
