She's had nearly an hour of exercise and is still full of pure crackhead energy. Who gave her meth?
Is my dog retarded?

My dog has now calmed down. Still think she's a little retarded.

How old is she? Young dogs are more energetic. They calm down as they grow older.

She might be retarded, but she's still the best girl, and you should pet her.

She's a nearly 2 year old mastiff. She usually gets tired after about 20 minutes of running, but hasn't gotten to do it much due to the rain. Probably why she had a slight psycho day yesterday. She's currently running with her herding ball while it snows. Somehow got a mastiff that loves herding.
She's gotten plenty of petting and belly rubs.

I got a German Shepherd mix (not sure what mixed with, other than big, fluffy, and white) this past spring. She is loving this snow, that we got today. New realizations every day. That's the joy of dog. I'm glad you give her all the belly rubs she deserves, just for being a dog. A Mastiff with high energy sounds awesome! I've heard they slow down after around five years.

You obviously have to push her secret reset button to rectify the problem. To do so, simply take the left hind paw and tap against the right ear until aggravated growling can be heard... or so I hear

That's just typical puppy energy (dog's never really leave the puppy phase until they are at least middle age). For many years my lab would spend the most ridiculous amount of time looping around the backyard like it was an indy car track. He'd just keep going until he basically fell over. Didn't matter the season, except if the snow was up to his chest then he'd bound through it instead.

Puppies are the greatest. They're just so much fun and cute as hell. Watching their reactions to new things is a blast. I really wish puppy hood lasted a lot longer.
