Feathers Are Still Floating Through the Bedroom, and the Havanese Is Sitting in the Pillow

AI imagehavanesecaught in the actfeather pillow

White feathers are still floating through the air, drifting down like snow over a torn-open pillow on the floor. Perched right in the middle of the burst cushion is a curly chocolate Havanese, her coat a cloud of rich brown ringlets dotted with stray feathers. She has turned her head away to gaze across the room, nose lifted and expression serene, as though she simply wandered in after the explosion. A laundry basket, a pair of slippers, and a rumpled bed nearby suggest this bedroom was peaceful only moments ago.

Many dogs have sudden bursts of wild energy, often called the zoomies, when they race around, spin, pounce on cushions, and generally act like tiny tornadoes. The official-sounding name for this is frenetic random activity periods, and they are generally a normal way for dogs to release pent-up energy, especially after baths, in the evening, or after being cooped up. Zoomies are usually harmless, but it helps to make sure the space is safe, away from stairs, slick floors, and breakable items. Regular play and exercise can help balance that energy. Feathers and fabric should be picked up quickly, since swallowing them can upset a dog's stomach.

Whether this was a case of the zoomies or simple curiosity, the pillow did not stand a chance. At least the cleanup crew has a very fluffy, very charming supervisor.
