Who needs snow
when you've got dead grass to roll around in?


Sometimes when I am outside, I simply like to lie around and smell the world go by. It is especially nice when I'm out lying on what used to be called grass. The tall guy says it is now called 'Jack, stop rolling around on the ground or else you'll have to take a bath when we get home!' This seems like an awfully long name for dead grass, but maybe it's a scientific term or something. I have learned a few interesting facts about Cynodon dactylon (scientific name: JSRAOTGOEYHTTABWWGH) which I would like to share with you.

If you roll around long enough, the grass will cover up your bald spots
(if you have any).
I know one or two puppies who could use this trick
after they've been to the barber shop

I'm trying to do this.
But I'm not quite there yet.
Yoga is hard,
especially on dead grass!

Lordy, lordy, lordy!
(That's what the tall guy said HIS mom would say to him when he was being silly!)
Dead grass tickles!

Don't even THINK about heading back to the car yet.
I'm waiting for someone to tell me how handsome I look!
Especially with my luxurious shiny hair against the dead grass.

What do you mean I'm looking COY?
My name is Jack!
Oh, coquettish.
Why didn't you say so?!
I would like me some salmon coquettishes.
What???
Well, like I'm supposed to know the difference!

So, there you have it.
Make sure next time you're outside that you get some dead grass
to bring back in your house with you.
And some of those salmon things too!

  10. It's really like a loofah, or sea salt scrub at the spaw. Tell the TG you are just saving money when you roll in the grass.

  11. Ok, ignoring the snow thing we have going, but don't have grass in the summer either. Apparently six dogs are not conducive to grass.

  13. Hi Jack...next time you are out rolling around in the 'grass' tell TG you are giving yourself a derma abrasion treatment...aka getting all the dead skin and hair off so the new can grow.

  15. Tootie can't wait for dead grass...all she has right now is brown snow left over from Christmas Eve and she refuses to go outside in that! When we get our January thaw and she gets her last parvo (you know, shhhh....shot) then she can go outside and see why you like all that dead grass!

  21. HI Jack, I managed to roll around in the snow enough to actually find the grass. And I look just like you when I roll in that wonderful grass. But my grass is still green even under the snow! You can come here and roll in my green grass anytime!! Hugs and wags, Mistaya
