My dog is an idiot.

I got home from work, mowed the lawn (it really needed it). Then I took the dog for a walk. When we got home, she went out in the back yard & ate some of the grass clippings. Then she came inside & puked in the living room.



You big dummy!

And puking grass is SOP as far as I know. She's not an idiot, she's adorable.

it was pretty embarrassing though she'd be "grazing" for 5 - 10 minutes every other stop.....it was never taking her for a walk, more like a feed. ha ha ha. She's no long with us, and I miss her terribly.

I know my cats only eat grass when they want help with a furball. Good looking doggy girl.

"Your dog is an idiot? Of course she is -- she isn't a cat!"

I think they feel the same way about me. And as for the dog, she's adorable.

Dog eats grass. Any dog parent knows what will come next. So dog has to stay outside until the deed is done, then she comes in. You did everything out of order, and now you want to blame the dog. Tsk tsk.

Speaking of the dog, she is a beauty!
