Alayne got this shot the other day of blind Sophie enjoying the lush springtime grass under the apple tree blossoms. It seems like we go from "when will the grass finally grow?" to "oh jeez, we need to cut the grass!" in just about a week. And yes, that yard has since been mowed!
The animals, of course, only have to enjoy it -- no work required. Ever. Which we remind them of. Daily.

Nothing better than seeing a dog enjoying life like Sophie is in these great pictures!

Is there anything more beautiful than a content red dachshund in a field of green, apple blossoms over head? I don't think so! Good job, Alayne!

Beautiful grass!! No wonder Sophie likes to be a rolling dog in that!! I would too. Here we grow weeds in sand. (and still have to mow it)

Reminds me of how Dusty loved sitting under the beautiful tree!
