Crazy dog

Tug gets the 'crazies' at night sometimes. He thinks it's great fun to run full speed at us and jump up on us and try to bite our hands. We are not amused. The past few nights he's still been up when I get home so when he'd get the crazies I'd grab him and pin him beside me in the chair- only his head could move. Then I'd start rocking gently and rub his belly with the hand pinning him against my side. Eventually, he'd relax and just enjoy it. Unfortunately, his little body puts out a lot of heat and so does mine so he's gotten a bit overheated just sitting there. We're popping him into his crate (which is in between our recliners) and feeding him ice- one of his favorite treats. Fortunately, he really gets into licking it and then chewing it when it's small enough. Better that than our fingers!
