Snow Frap!

The big East Coast blizzard, storm of the century, pretty much missed my area. We are just far enough south here in Northern Virginia that we got little more than a good dusting. But it was perfect corgi-depth. My guys love a good snow day and it brings out their playful spirit. In the Corgi Nation, we have a term "FRAP"....Frantic Random Acts of Play......it describes the reckless abandon with which our corgis run when something strikes their fancy. Jimmy and Wilson had one such moment this morning when they realized it had snowed. You can also see Jimmy's "pacifier" in action.

Let me apologize right up front. I am a horrible videographer! My screen is tiny and I lost track of where the boys were in the middle of the video so it goes all wonky for a bit. But I still think you can feel their joy. (There are some regular photos in this old post.) And would you believe Wilson is coming up on his 12th birthday?

The Anatomy of a Snow Frap

I love a sunny day after a snowstorm. The pictures turn out so crisp and clear. Here we have the several postures of a snow frap. The boys played for just a minute or two, but completed a full game.....

Here we see "The Eye", an essential move for getting the game off to a good start.


Then, "The Snarl", close to the ear, probably saying something about Wilson's momma....



Next, "The Shoulderhold", to see who is the bigger man, er, Cardi......

Breaking apart, preparing for the test of speed, it's "The Lunge"........

And now "The Circle Game".....

Followed by "The Tackle".......

Finally, "The Takedown".

And then they were done, and continued along their walk.
