lol. Westin does the FRAP also. only he does laps around the coffee table. and he sleeps on his back with his back legs straight out. And he has decided that his crate is an amazing place to watch me from. No matter what I'm doing in the bedroom, if it has anything to do with the closet he sits in his crate and watches me till I'm done. Then he gets out and follows me around again!

But he didn't have a lot of interaction with other dogs until he was two.

Westin will only actually "play" with dogs that are bigger than him. For example, our friends Rottweiler puppy (a week younger than he is), or my boyfriends' parent's 4 m.o. Blue Heeler. He doesn't play with the other dogs in our puppy class who are older than him, but smaller and can't "fight back".

Jabba does the FRAP, but makes this grunting sound the whole time that makes it quite entertaining (and tired just watching him)! I had a collie/lab mix that used to do "crazy circles" too, so I wasn't too surprised by his bursts of energy.

Colbster Fraps too...we call him "speed racer"...lately hes been playing a new game we dubbed "touch and go"...he gets the hedgie and starts the run...around the dining room, loop through the kitchen, into the living room, dash around the couch and into the bedroom, up one side of the bed and back out...but while doing this the hedgie gets dropped in different places and it stays there a loop or so, he zooms by it, touches it but leaves it and keeps going and on the way back he grabs it and moves it and then dropa it agains and touches it the next time around and so on....its a riot...reminds of a "flyball" demonstration we saw at a show recently...

Shelby does the thing where she carries her food in the middle of the carpet and just starts throwing it up in the air. Then she also sits and rolls around on her back everytime after she eats.

Lexus is the crazy one, FRAP or whatever you'd like to call it. She probably has the weirdest sleeping positions out of all the other Corgi's.

Ariel sleeps weird and she also like to roll around on her back and growl. It's pretty funny.

I couldn't resist adding these pictures, they're too funny!

When you think you've seen everything - something like these photos come along.

Aww. Is she sleeping in your bed? I love the little crossed feet.

Haha, I know! I don't see how that can be comfortable, but apparently it works for her! Haha. And Erin, I also love the little crossed back feet, very ladylike =P. In this picture she is asleep on my lap while I am sitting on the couch, but she does sleep on my bed at night. I've heard that puppies don't do good sleeping in your bed until they're older becuase they need their crate, but all I have to do is put Waeryn in her crate a little while before I go to bed, then when she's asleep or mostly asleep I take her out of the crate and put her on my bed next to me. She sleeps the whole night through.

It is very sweet. Look at her little head. Goofball.

It sounds like it will become a permanent arrangement - sleeping on your bed the night through.

Yes, I plan to let her sleep on my bed even when she's an adult. I made cardboard boxes into stairs so she can get up and down by herself because she had been trying to jump off and I didnt want her to hurt herself. It took me a little while to teach her how to use them, but she's pretty much got it down now.
