Grazing at Home on Nature Friday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

First, big wags to Rosy and Sunny over at the LLB Gang for hosting Nature Friday! 

Riley: Mom Amy seems to love the wild violets we’re seeing everywhere. These are in our dog lot. It’s a wonder they survive what is always happening out there.

Xena: Hey there, totally changing the subject, we’ve got our very own grazing grass right here in our side/back yard. You see, Mommy left parts of a bale of straw sitting around after Halloween last fall, and they started to grow grass. Our side and backyard is losing dirt and grass, so that was a pleasant surprise! Riley found it first and we heard him say, “Mmmmmm, so goooood!” So of course, the next time we got out in the yard, we all had to check it out!

Chia walked through first to see what all the fuss was about and to sample it.

Chia’s like our Mikey from that cereal commercial. So if Chia liked it we knew to jump right in. Lucy and me, we staked out our claim.

Then, because Chia thinks she has to be close to Lucy at all times, she went and started grazing in Lucy’s area.

Lucy: I didn’t care, as long as she didn’t start her crap with me. I am just so over that. Thank goodness she was too interested in this new treat we’d found.

Meanwhile…

Riley: Hey, where’d everyone go?

Xena, Lucy and Chia wishing everyone a happy Friday. Hey, where’d Riley go?

    I absolutely loved reading this article! It’s heartwarming to see how much joy and wonder the simple things in life can bring to our furry friends.

  6. Our mom likes the wild violets too, and we have lots of them. The way you all are going after that grass, no mower or goat will be needed to keep it tidy. Kizmet thanks you for the compliment about her eyes. Have an easy Sunday.

  10. Riley’s been grazing on it every time he went back there to poop. He hates going in the dog lot, so he gets special treatment. He just didn’t know we were there, BOL!

  16. Dad’s wanting Mom to get more bales and take them apart and lay them all over the back yard where we’re eventually getting a fence just for us if the doofus who does it ever shows up. *deep breath* XOX Xena

  25. I am with you Riley, no tall grass for me. I learned something today, had no idea hay could/would grow. we need some in our side yard, when beau feels bad he looks for tall grass and we have none. I need some that I could water and make it grow just for Beau… looks like everyone is happy with the hay making hay while it can. ha ha
