OMG!  This is one our favorite things with Missy!  When she gets a bath, or when she comes in from her walk, or after she has done her big business, she runs at top speed through the house... through the living room... thru the dining room, into the kitchen and around the table, back out of the kitchen... thru the dining room... into the living room, up onto the recliner, fly to the next recliner, fly over to the couch, up the back of the couch and back down again, down onto the floor... thru the dining room... repeats at 60 miles an hour until she begins hacking...

My Guen will do this right after her baths, I love it, I've yet to video it i'm to busy lauphing about it. It's even more funny when she does the as running at top speed grab what ever toy she runs buy, while sliding across the kitchen floor.

Mom to Guenhwyvar, When life gets hard, take a long hot bath and enjoy knowing the door locks and your phone is on silent!!

Electron does that after a bath too! She drops her front legs and scoots around rubbing her body on the floor, couch, pillows, bed....once she ran into her kennel and was trying to rub on the blanket and SHE ACTUALLY ROLLED THE KENNEL WHILE SHE WAS IN IT. What a freak!

Yaz does this too. After bath or poop. Last night after she did her evening poo she came in and did crazy laps in the living room with total disregard for the fact the mommy was under the blankie sick on the couch. I guess I was a speed bump.

Yeah what is with that??!! Fred does it too!! They get out and they run like crazy rubbing their face, body and everything all over the carpet!! To boot they always want to go right outside after a bath too, NO WAY is that happening!! I think they hate being clean!!


The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too

My last RT was more into the Rattie 500 she would go berzerk!!! maggie does it but hers is more like "I don't want to be wet...if I run really fast I will dry quicker" and she is scared to death of the blow drier!!! She still does what we call CRAZY DOG where she runs around the bed with her ears and butt tucked...it is always good for a hoot!!!

Both my dogs do this too. Run like CRAZY after a bath. It is soooo funny, and there is no stopping them. Then they rub their faces and backs on the carpet. I guess to get off all the water!

Chloe does it too! I always think she should be so tired after a long walk but seems there's always energy left for a run through the house. My lab does the run through only after baths.

Cyrus does it, too! I really do think he thinks it's going to make him dry faster. Maybe it does? Who knows!?

I call it ZOOMING! Most dog breeds will do it after a bath. But ratties sometimes just take off like you lit a match under their butt for no reason at all! Totally cracks me up! LOL

OMG, we thought our RT was just plain crazy !! Now we learn ours is right up there with the others haha. Ours will run the same way and then crawl on her belly front feet pulling, back pushing like some kind of reptile crawl. Then she goes at it again and gets the hiccups, we just laugh like crazy. Oh ya whats with the cough at the end of a run?? We figure it is normal because it doesn't happen every time.

I love zoomies! Today is nail and bath day. Peanut is stinky and finally clear for a bath after his neuter surgery and I figured we might as well do all 4 since they haven't had a bath since before winter started. Stinky doggers.

I gave a bath to Spudz and to his cousin Hendrix who is a toy poodle and chi mixed, I noticed that they both did the crazyrunning and rubbing through the house and couches, so I guess it is not just rattys that do it!

Got to love the Rattie 500. Toby is sooo funny. He hate his baths but once done he is just crazy. Rubbing on the couchs going back and forth and all around. I love to watch it.

Our TFT Misty always did the crazy run after her bath.  Now, Marley didn't even wait for his bath to be over.  He jumped out of the tub, mid bath, and was rubbing his soapy head all over the living room carpet (maybe his alter ego is a carpet shampooer). 


We'll have to outwit the fiend with our superior intelligence.

OMG!! I laughed out when I saw this thread... Copper runs like he's been set on fire after a bath. I always thought it was because he just felt refreshed after a good bath, and felt good that I could make him that happy.

Sam doesn't turbo, he just shakes about 20 times, then sits down and licks himself till he's completely dry. When one of us takes a shower and sit on the floor, he'll come over and lick our hair. Kind of gross.

Chelsea does this when she comes in from going out side. My wife takes off her collar and tags and she is off.. Rounds the ktichen into the dining room up the stairs down again and repeats the pattern until she is tired out.. Then she tries to get Chase to chase her by biting his leg in between the run patterns. But he just looks at her and stays put.  To funny indeed.

Dixie use to run like through the house over the couch and around the house again, when we had our boston terrier she would also do the same thing. they would end up going oppisite directions and end up colliding in the living room.

Now she is too fat to run, she just runns into the living room and just rubs on everything. We got her nails done last week and when she got home she pranced around, like showing off her nails. or it really felt weird to her, seening as I usually cut them, and this time we had it done profesionally. Yes she was a little mad at us for the visit. The old wash, nails, flean and tick dip, and the butt pinch thingy.


Life is like a jar of Jalapenos what do you today could burn your butt tomorrow.

Murphy does this too.  He blasts around the house doing a 8 around the kitchen counter and couch.   Goes on for a while - makes me tired just watching him.

I thought the "snakey scoot" as I call it was just a Pixie thing!!  She often pulls herself with her front paws across an entire room while she's still laying down.  I can't say she's ever had the hiccups, though 

You have all inspired me to give my smelly rattie a good scrub down...right now!

 this is my favorite too!  After the bath I look forward to seeing Mya dash around!  She even shakes the towel, I used for her, like crazy when I set it down! I will have to put a video of this up of this the next time I bathe her...
