and she keeps knocking stuff over. If I have to vacuum up plant dirt one more time this week, I'm going to scream! What kind of dumb does it take to chase your own tail?

Well, people seem to do it metaphoricaly all the time.

You need to train the puppy to be more carefull. Get to work!

The dog is neurotic. Give it Puppy Prozac.

that can be a sign of boredom. you may also be inadvertently(sp?) reinforcing the behavior.

when the puppy starts doing that quickly try to redirect its attention to some other toy or another activity. laughing at the puppy may be reinforcing the behavior and the dog may do it more and more.
