Can you explain Puppy Rushes?

Full Question:

Can u please explain to me what "puppy rushes" are??? I have a Chihuahua (going on 4 yrs. next month) & when he gets excited he tends to start running around the house VERY fast, I was wondering if that's what it was.... Sorry if this is a silly question. Thank you

Ed's Answer:

I have never heard the term ”puppy rushes” before but our dogs all do this when they are feeling playful or excited. We call it the “zoomies.”

It’s normal.
