[Quiet Man Cometh]

My dog, Monty, is normally as lazy as I am and it's about 50/50 which of us gets out of bed first, but when he's wet he suddenly becomes jet-powered. He runs through the house, usually with one side of his face on the carpet or the side of the couch, propelling himself along in what I guess is an attempt to get the water out of his ears or to whipe them off (he does like to whipe his face on the carpet by the door after he eats. We call it his 'napkin.' :)). He jumps on and off couches and my bed. One time he lept at the bed at an angle, was too low to make the height and instead ricocheted off the bed at about a 45 degree angle, and didn't seem to care. Just bounced off "ping" in superman mode, front paws forward and everything, and bolted into the other room to scrub his ears some more.

He always had a habit of jumping out of my arms as a puppy when I went to put him down, so what I used to do was let him jump but hang onto him around his ribs and guide him to the ground. He would hold his front feet out, ready to land. Not sure if he ever realised that I was hanging onto him the whole time, kinda like playing "airplane" with a little kid.
