The Grass is Greener

     Elsie's first time on the grass. At 11 months old, you might wonder why it took so long for her first      

     encounter with this herbaceous plant. Well, our home community grass has pretty much been claimed by   

     the dogs in the neighborhood. And yes, by claimed I mean that the dogs, including our dear Pickle, have   

     marked their territory with a very lengthy urinary trail. Anyway, I took Elsie to see daddy at work for    

     lunch. It was a gorgeous sunny day, and the grass seemed to be beckoning for a child to play on it. Elsie 

     was not that child. She barely moved and kept her arms in a T. Rex manner for most of the time. We'll try 

     again another day!
