I know dora is the fastest dog I have ever seen. She does everything in high gear. The energy doesn't slow up and she is the noseyest dog too. -------Original Message------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 11/19/08 21:32:44 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Re: Chi puppy energy & cold weather I think Chihuahuas are champions at doing "Zoom, Zooms" . Cesar, 21 months old, does his "zooms" at least once a day. He zooms around the room then jumps up onto the couch, hits the back of the couch and appears to "surf" off the back of the couch and onto the floor. He looks like he is wave surfing. But even at that, he is not the wild man he was as a young pup! So, there's hope. LOL Gloria P In a message dated 11/19/2008 8:24:42 P.M.

I do play with him a lot, but I guess he just has energy in reserves. lol I wish we could run around, but we live on the second floor of an apartment. I have thought about agility for him because I think he'd really like it. With him being 4 months old we would have to start with puppy obedience and work our way on up. Definitely something to consider.
