I'm not Corgimom, but my Taylor at almost four years old, fraps more these days than he ever did. He very seldomed did any frapping as a puppy. So it is not necessarily an act or habit which is a hangover from puppy days.
Frapping can take slightly different forms, but it is a dog quite suddenly in unprompted joyish abandon racing around in circles, around objects such as tables and chairs, or doing the figure eight, or speeding from room to room, floor to floor. While racing madly, they can grab a toy or someone's clothing and hope to be chased by humans or other animals otherwise they do it all themselves. A frapping session can start at any point of time, but in my experience, it can be at a set time (say 6pm daily) or just before their daily meal or soon after, or after returning home from a walk/run outing - as if to let go any excess energy. Frapping can last seconds or minutes.

F-frantic

A-active
P-play

The is when out of nowhere, your dog jumps up and starts running through the house as fast as possible; running around tables, stands, chairs at break neck speed. And heaven forbid!!!! you have another dog that joins in the fun. I usually just pick my feet up off the floor if I'm on the couch, because around the coffee table is part of the race course.

Ponzo is totally into having us Frap with him....He will start dashing about the coffee table, and then bark at us until we start chasing him around in a circle and then reverse it, so I guess it's not really frapping at that point, HA! It is too cute though when it really does happen...and as for dog washes we have one right down the street but I never visited because I just bathe Ponzo in the tub, he likes to drink from the faucet as it runs and catch the splashing drops of warm water. Gross.

Lulu has finally figured out how to jump from the sofa to the love seat. So now aerials are involved in fraps!

there are very few in Orange County....too many people would rather pay the big bucks and have someone else do the washing

Frequent Random Acts of Play. Also called spedleys or nutheads dance. Or any other crazy running around often with barking and rolling and rubbing crazily on owners and other such silliness.
