These bursts of activity, makes this dog run around and races from one end of the bed to the other, sometimes spinning in circles and with a bit of a wild glint in his eyes. When this surge of energy is wasted, the Frenchie will end up in a contented and exhausted flop onto the ground.

It’s like a wind up toy that was wound to the max. The zoomies are most likely a way to relieve stress. Which means, in a way, the zoomies could be a sign your dog is feeling happy and healthy.
