🐾 What’s Your Border Collie’s Zoomie Style?

Let’s face it—when Border Collies catch a case of the zoomies, it’s not just a quick burst of energy… it’s an Olympic-level performance. Whether it’s 6am zooms or bedtime madness, every BC has their own style when the zoomie spirit strikes. Which one sounds like your pup?

1. 🌀 The Figure-8 Pro
You know the one. This collie zips in perfect figure-8s between furniture, around trees, or through invisible racetracks only they can see. Precision? Speed? A little chaos? They’ve got it all. Watch out for your shins.

2. 🚀 The Lawn Missile
Straight line. Maximum speed. Minimal turning. Usually launched from the back porch and straight across the garden like they’re chasing a sonic boom. Warning: may leave crop circles in the grass.

3. 🛋️ The Furniture Parkour Champ
Zoomies with flair. This Border Collie flies from the couch to the ottoman to the wall and back down like a furry parkour athlete. Bonus points for mid-air spins and dramatic landings.

4. 🌪️ The Spinning Tornado
Fast? Yes. Coordinated? Not exactly. This style is all tight spins, high-pitched barks, and wild eyes. Often includes sudden stops to stare dramatically… before spinning again. Dizzying and delightful.

Why Do Zoomies Happen?
Zoomies, also known as FRAPs (Frenetic Random Activity Periods), are a natural release of pent-up energy for dogs. For high-energy, intelligent breeds like Border Collies, it's their way of hitting the mental refresh button. Whether after a bath, before a walk, or simply because the wind shifted, it's their cue to go full throttle.

So next time your Border Collie goes into turbo mode, just smile, step aside, and maybe film it for the memories. 🥹
