Although dogs love getting wet, most of them absolutely hate bath time. I mean, you can put a Golden Retriever in a lake, and they\u2019ll swim and play for hours, but put that same dog in a bathtub, and suddenly they act like they\u2019re allergic to water.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, the bathtub struggles don\u2019t last long, and once your pup is out, the zoomies take over\u2014and honestly, it\u2019s hilarious to watch. Mango, the Golden Retriever, showed off her post-bath zoomies in a recent TikTok video, and it\u2019s worth watching more than once\u2014especially for the epic fail at the very end.<\/p>\n
After her bath, the pup takes off running and jumping across the living room furniture. Mom calls it her \u201cpost-bath spicy zoomies,\u201d and it\u2019s easy to see why. Mango shows off some serious speed and agility, while she basically turns the room into her own parkour course.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, she let the zoomie spirit move her just a little too much. The Golden Retriever misjudged the distance between the couch and the bed, and after losing her footing, she took a tumble over the back of the sofa<\/a>. The TikTok caption jokes, \u201cNot the flying toe bean,\u201d referring to Mango\u2019s hind paw being the last thing visible before she disappeared behind the couch, LOL.<\/p>\n Related: Senior Dachshund’s Adorable Post-Bath Zoomies Will Melt Your Heart<\/strong><\/p>\n Experts believe there are several reasons dogs get the zoomies after a bath.
