Before the long print run, the calico printers carefully inspected the lapping for tears.

The thirsty horse stood by the trough, lapping water with quick, efficient motions.

The dogs' rhythmic lappings against the water bowl soothed the anxious puppy.

She carried a lapful of kittens into the living room.

She carried lapfuls of warm laundry from the dryer to the couch to fold.

By the final lap, the lapped cars were instructed to hold their line to avoid interfering with the leaders.

The kitten lapped the milk from the saucer until only a few drops remained.

Every morning the cat laps the milk from its saucer while the puppy watches curiously.

After swimming fifty laps, she felt both exhausted and exhilarated.

After the lap, she was relieved to learn the clipping had been successful and that recovery would be quick.
