White Tornado

Emme loves to dash around the house at breakneck speed, like a white tornado. She runs from room to room, occasionally stopping to pounce on a stuffie or Rudy. She will run through the family room, back out again, through the kitchen, to the front hall, and then repeat this until she is panting. Another route is through the living room, kitchen, and front hall. This must be something specific to the breed, because I have heard this referred to as the "Bichon Blitz." Sometimes she runs to celebrate just coming in from outside after finishing her business. Sometimes she runs because she needs to go outside and take care of business. Sometimes she runs for the sheer joy of running. After a few minutes of frantic running, she lies down panting. After a good run, she needs a good nap. What a character!
