I did. Chip, the 8-year old Dalmatian Tornado. If not for his size, no one would've ever believed his age. He put Marley, the Lab, to shame. Not much of intended destruction, but he mostly never wanted to come in, preferring to climb over the fence, the trees, the playhouse roof.... And at nights, he used to find it sooo difficult to fall asleep immediately. Even dozing, he'd keep thumping his tail- probably to burn out the day's quota of energy as much as he can.
He was one of those strong but lean missiles, no matter how much you fed him. That was the kind of nervous energy he used to burn. As to his kisses, there was this 'Kiss of Death' he kept reserved for my big bro, whereby he would proceed until bro's face threatened to collapse on the floor.....
