    So Oberon will be 7 in September and at this point in his life he acts like a chilled almost middle-aged dog. Tonight was different! For whatever reason he reverted to puppyhood behaviors -- running through the house, herding my husband, grabbing toys and shaking them; he even had a few minutes of zoomies! if he was a cat I would have sworn he got into some catnip. Has this happened to anyone else's Sheltie?

    After about an hour of this he settled down and is once again acting like a proper middle-aged gentleman.

    Zulu is 7, and he has his moments too. The other day he pulled a half roll of toilet paper out, and was running around the house with one my tennis shoes. Then he took a nap.

    Piper is 6 and there are many times he can run with Blueberry and she can’t even catch him! He too loves his naps though! Lol

    Spitfire does but he has always been crazy. Just now that he is 10 they last less time and are a little less often. Though since he lost his weight they increased.

    Oh and it is a little seasonal. In the heat they have all slowed (Spitfire the least). This fall will be game on again.
