Throughout my life with several dogs, I’ve gathered some valuable insights about selecting the right canine companion.
One key point I’ve learned is that the idea of a completely calm and laid-back dog who prefers to take life slowly is a myth.
All dogs are irresistibly cute while possessing a mischievous streak. One moment, they’re basking in your affection, and the next, they’re off in a flurry of energy.
When a woman welcomed her Golden Retriever, Ellie, into her family, she had no idea what adventures awaited her ahead. Let’s just say, she was in for a surprise.
Ellie The ‘Calm’ Dog
From the moment Ellie stepped into her new home, her life underwent a remarkable transformation. She relished the time spent with her new family, forging strong bonds.
As she matured, it became clear that the ‘calmest’ puppy from the litter had a vibrant personality brewing.
The only twist in the tale was that she turned out to be quite different from what they anticipated. Ellie blossomed into a lively and exuberant dog.
Her owners quickly observed that while she often took long naps and savored her relaxation time, she also had her moments of high energy.
In fact, she raced around the house playfully biting at everything in sight. Her owners felt a bit ‘duped’ by Ellie, as she clearly was not the calm dog they initially believed her to be.
One day, Ellie’s mom decided to capture her zoomies on video to immortalize the memory.
It’s Universal For All Puppies
With video evidence in hand, Ellie’s mom shared a clip on TikTok, captioning it simply: “She tricked us…”
One viewer commented: “My Golden is 18 months old now, so basically I have a velociraptor in the house at the moment.”
This clearly shows that regardless of their age, Golden Retrievers hardly change, and Ellie stands as a testament to this fact.
Another viewer noted: “The high-energy zoomies mean she is super happy. That’s the greatest compliment a puppy/dog can give. Love them endlessly.”
This is something pet owners often overlook. If a dog is truly happy in their environment, this is just one of the many ways they might express it.
Finally, another commenter remarked: “You got the quiet puppy, but you turned her into a joy-filled dog with zoomies! I experienced that for about three years with our lab…”
It’s a well-known truth that dogs typically express themselves through their behavior. Regardless of their nature, many dogs enjoy playing and frolicking with those they love dearly.
Ellie’s charming zoomies captivated a large audience on TikTok, demonstrating the joy that such relatable moments bring to dog lovers everywhere. She truly is a delightful and remarkable companion.
