FRAP
Growing pains
Søren has been sick. I think it’s been worse for me than for him. It was some kind of a stomach upset with vomiting and diarrhea. He got a little dehydrated and the vet put him on some antibiotics. Although I was a nervous wreck, Søren never seemed to realize he was sick. He was hungry and frisky and happy.
Speaking of being frisky…
And, then the next day, Søren’s left ear was up! The right ear is still really floppy. I may have to make a cardboard ear splint.
Søren has one big boy ear.
Søren got his second set of puppy shots today. Søren is 12-weeks old today and he’s going to training class tomorrow if he’s feeling well.
Søren FRAPS for the first time
I’m a research type of person. So, when I decided to get a puppy, I did a fair amount of breed research. I soon noticed the mysterious acronym “FRAP” coming up everywhere when I was reading about corgis. Frantic Random Acts of Play. Apparently, this consists of sudden bouts of running in circles and figure eights and then flopping down on the floor as if nothing had happened. Most dogs do this as puppies. Corgis do it all of their lives. Since I’m not one to act my age, I can appreciate the same tendencies in my dog.
Søren's ears are showing a little lift
I hope to one day catch this phenomenon on video.
