hello my adoring readers! it’s me; bella! i know i haven’t posted for a long time but i’ve been pretty good. well … good for me anyway. mommy says i never have a halo over my head but i don’t know what she means by that. who would want something hanging over their head anyhoo? beats me.
we haven’t really had any winter here. i love snow, so it’s been kind of a downer. but, as they say in dogville, when winter give you grass instead of snow — make grass angels!
here’s how you do it.
first pick a nice patch of dried up grass in the yard. make eye contact with the person you want to make laugh (or annoy). you choose.
then you start the roll like this: (are you watching??)
make sure you take full advantage of the situation while still on your back! be sure to wiggle your butt and kick your legs!
finishing up on the other side
and if you’ve done it properly you will end up looking like this:
you might have to try it a time or two to get it right. it does take some practice. if you like getting brushed you will enjoy this activity even more. if you don’t, well, be prepared to stay outside until you don’t have any more grass on you because your mommy will be annoyed with you and not let you in the house.
let me know how you make out!
Hi Bella, Cuz Lucy here. I make grass angels too! The thatchier the grass the better. I like to end up trying to sneak in the house disguised as a short haystack (or like Pigpen.)Good fun!

No, it’s private. You’re not supposed to wear clothes when you do it, are you?! Bella didn’t, so I didn’t, either.

But Bella has lots and lots of fur. YOU don’t! Maybe you’ve just come up with a new spa treatment!
