Ass Grass

February 24, 2011 by Julie 121 Comments

Even though you guys know I love my poems, the title of this blog post is actually relevant to the content within this post. I wasn’t just feelin’ rhyme-happy, though I wouldn’t put that past me considering my morning blog post title.

Brace yourself for some ass grass! Surprised smile

When we arrived home from work today, Ryan and I leashed up Sadie for an evening at the dog park!

Sadie spent about three minutes sprinting about, sniffing the extra smelly spots in the park (Yay feces!) before she noticed a bright yellow frisbee stuck in a tree just begging to be used in endless rounds of fetch.

Ryan came to her rescue.

We played fetch for a good 45 minutes. Sadie typically fetches sticks or balls, so the frisbee was a new thing for her. She’s so flippin’ fast and had no trouble catching it in the air a handful of times. We were proud puppy parents.

Well, we were proud puppy parents until we noticed it.

Ass grass.

Ass. Grass.

A blade of grass literally sticking out of her ass.

How does that even happen???

I’ll spare you the details, but let’s just say someone plucked the grass from her ass.

Thank goodness our dog park has bathrooms. And they have antibacterial soap. And we keep hand sanitizer in the car. And I couldn’t stop laughing.

Eventually we headed home, ready to get started on dinner. (Don’t worry, more hand washing ensued.)

Dinner

Dinner tonight was easy peasy! Just my style.

Our meal included roasted curried cauliflower and jam-packed quesadillas.

In the ‘dillas:

  • Whole wheat tortilla
  • Shredded Mexican cheese
  • Black beans
  • Sautéed onions
  • Black bean and roasted corn salsa

I used to make quesadillas all the time when I first graduated from college. I need to make these lil’ babies more often! They’re easy, tasty and a great way to jam a bunch of veggies into dinner.

Time to make some Red Hots applesauce. Tomorrow is FRIDAY!

    HAHAHA this definitely is going in my top five favorite posts EVER category. I love not only that you refer to it as “ass grass,” but that you actually took a picture. That little thing is wedged in there good, isn’t it? I’m glad you were able to charm Ryan into picking it out. No matter how much I love my animals, I’m not sure that I could ever bring myself to put my fingers there…

    OMG that is hilarious! That pic of Ryan tugging at the grass, hahaha! He should be proud of those calves of his (as pictured with him digging the frisbee outta the tree)!
    I agree with quesadillas. I can eat mine without meat and full of onions and cheese too.

    Honestly, this happens to my pug way more than I care to mention. She’s never had ass grass, but she will eat a piece of my long hair that has shedded onto the floor. Hours later, I have to pull the hair out of her ass. She always looks embarrassed when it happens: she realizes she’s not going to get all the poop/hair out herself, so she just looks at me and tries to sit on it, like, “Nope, nothing’s wrong here. Please don’t come near my anus!”

    Oh man!! The same thing happened to my black lab, except it was that hard, crab-grass, that he must have eaten and obviously didn’t digest, and after he went to the bathroom it didn’t all come out. Thankfully I had some extra plastic bags with me but I had to pull it out – I felt so badly!

    So here is a story I’ve never told but since you brought up ass grass I’m sharing. Several years ago after Easter my cat was walking funny. I started to check his paws and back legs… then… I saw it. He had a piece of Easter grass stuck on his butt. I thought no problem, I’ll just wipe it off. No! It was coming OUT of his butt. I pulled (and pulled) a foot long piece of Easter grass out of his ass. I have no clue how he swallowed and digested that, but the next year our family switched to using paper grass. Lesson learned!
