Even though you guys know I love my poems, the title of this blog post is actually relevant to the content within this post. I wasn’t just feelin’ rhyme-happy, though I wouldn’t put that past me considering my morning blog post title.
Brace yourself for some ass grass!
When we arrived home from work today, Ryan and I leashed up Sadie for an evening at the dog park!
Sadie spent about three minutes sprinting about, sniffing the extra smelly spots in the park (Yay feces!) before she noticed a bright yellow frisbee stuck in a tree just begging to be used in endless rounds of fetch.
Ryan came to her rescue.
We played fetch for a good 45 minutes. Sadie typically fetches sticks or balls, so the frisbee was a new thing for her. She’s so flippin’ fast and had no trouble catching it in the air a handful of times. We were proud puppy parents.
Well, we were proud puppy parents until we noticed it.
Ass grass.
Ass. Grass.
A blade of grass literally sticking out of her ass.
How does that even happen???
I’ll spare you the details, but let’s just say someone plucked the grass from her ass.
Thank goodness our dog park has bathrooms. And they have antibacterial soap. And we keep hand sanitizer in the car. And I couldn’t stop laughing.
Eventually we headed home, ready to get started on dinner. (Don’t worry, more hand washing ensued.)
Dinner
Dinner tonight was easy peasy! Just my style.
Our meal included roasted curried cauliflower and jam-packed quesadillas.
In the ‘dillas:
- Whole wheat tortilla
- Shredded Mexican cheese
- Black beans
- Sautéed onions
- Black bean and roasted corn salsa
I used to make quesadillas all the time when I first graduated from college. I need to make these lil’ babies more often! They’re easy, tasty and a great way to jam a bunch of veggies into dinner.
Time to make some Red Hots applesauce. Tomorrow is FRIDAY!
Lauren @ Hungry Dancer says
That’s hilarious!!!! WOW literally grass in the ass! I love quesadillas so good!

I love Pauly D and Snookie… my least fav was Sam but I think I will like her more now that she’s not with ronnie!
Gina says
HAHAHAHA. I’m dying right now. So.hilarious.
Thank goodness Ryan came to her rescue 🙂
Maria @ Oh Healthy Day says
Haha. Oh the things you do for the ones you love.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE dogs, but I don’t think I could ever have one because picking up poo makes me gag like no other. I’ll just have to enjoy other’s dogs!
LoriV. says
LOL. That happened to my cat once although it was curling ribbon from a Christmas present!! It was must longer than grass. Ew!
Heidi says
hahah! I love that you left it in just long enough to snap a pic! Too funny. Sadie was probably all too unaware the whole time too.
Anne @thefitbridesmaid says
I cannot believe that you posted that picture! A similar situation happened to our dog, except that she was actually, ummm, bm-ing the piece of grass. It was DISGUSTING!
Sarah @ healthygirlrunning says
Oh my goodness!! That ass grass is sooo funny!! Those quesadillas look super tasty!
Does Ryan eat the same dinner you do? I sometimes end up making extra food for my bf (mainly some type of meat). He’s definitely a meat & potatoes kinda guy! 🙂
BIOCHEMISTA says
Don’t forget that amazing poem you wrote for my “Letters to me campaign” 🙂 🙂
carlee says
Honestly I would have gottten some old tweezers that I could throw away and pluck that bad boy out!
I just keep laughing at this!!
Monica says
ROTFLMAO! I love the fact that you captured a picture of the ass grass…that is priceless. Then only you could so seamlessly move from that to a delicious looking quesadilla in the same post!
I haven’t had the pleasure of ass grass removal with my golden, as she has too much hair down there to see anything. Our late greyhound, however, trotted through the house once or twice proudly showing off her ass grass.
Your post made my day today! =)
Ryan @ Aloha Appetite says
I think you made everyone reading your blog LOL with the ass grass. I couldn’t stop because I just imagined my husband and I having to deal with that with our boxer.
I haven’t had a quesadilla in forever and you inspired me to rummage for the makings for one. 🙂
Carrie says
BAHAHAHAH you just made my morning.. wow that is hilarious.. especially because it was literally one perfectly positioned blade of grass.. LOVE IT
the probably with my dog isn’t ass grass, but more like pooey-ass.. he’s a sheltie so he’s covered with hair, right.. and that means that when he plops to go number 2, the hairs all down in there and in his tail enjoy the ride too……
Gen says
hahaha I literally laughed out loud when I read the story! =D
The quesadillas look delish! Makes me wish that they sold tortillas here….
anon says
ewwwww 🙁
Melissa says
Hahahahaha! I totally had to stop myself from laughing out loud as my husband sleeps next to me! Story and pic is hilarious–maybe the name adds some humor too. 😉
Lauren says
HAHAHHAHAHA too funny!!!!! 🙂
Angela says
Oh man I am LOVING cauliflower these days! Weird question: Does cauliflower and broccoli give anyone else horrible gas?
Gretchen @ Honey, I Shrunk the Gretchen! says
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Holy moly, I literally just laughed out loud (cue coworkers thinking I’m totally nutso.) But I totally know what that’s like!! It’s even worse when your dog has eaten hair… it causes some, um… dangle-age.
… Doggy TMI? Is there such a thing between dog owners?
Regardless, HIlarious.
ellie says
That’s so funny! I can’t believe you took a picture!!!! hahaha!!!! My brother’s dog has some anxiety problems and ends up pooping in her kennel practically every day. So their dog trainer told them to try to get her to poop every morning before they leave to help alleviate some of her accidents. You know how they were told to do it? Put a matchstick in her butt! Super gross, but it works…
Paula @ Eat: Watch: Run says
OMG. This post just made my entire day. Hilarious!!
Colleen @ The Lunchbox Diaries says
OMG! That is hilarious! Poor Ryan! Hahaha!
Hope says
OMG! I am sitting here laughing hysterically at work! This is TOO funny! I love that you even took a picture of it! This is seriously one of the best posts ever! Hahaha!
Brittany says
Oh my goodness – that is crazy!! Olive often times get’s poop stuck in her butt and I see hair coming out (haha) but I have yet to see grass. 🙂
Kathie says
mmm quesidillas..havent had those in awhile
Amber Mitchell says
This was too funny! I started laughing out loud, everyone in my office looked at me like I was on crack !
Han says
Pahahahahaha
Laurie says
Ha Ha so funny!!!!! That usually happens to my dog when he eats something he’s not suppose to!!! I had to get a stick one time to pull something out of his ass because he couldn’t get it ‘out’ while going to the bathroom! So gross!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andrea says
Baaaaahaaaaa!
Jackie says
OMG, this reminded me of when my sister bought a Chihuahua back in 1988. She was going to beauty school at the time and one day while she was gone, the dog chewed one of the mannequin heads to pieces! We didn’t realize he had eaten a lot of the long hair until we walked him that evening and he tried to poop. Talk about a horrific experience of pulling long hair from his butt (with a leaf). I’m not sure if it freaked us or the dog out more. LOL
Alyssa - fashion fitness foodie says
Haha poor Sadie! She doesn’t even know we’ve seen her embarrassing moment posted on the Internet 😉 I love me some dillas! I made a peach, chicken and pepperjack one last week. You should check it out!
Jenny says
OMG Thank you for this post, Julie. It seriously made me laugh so hard. I had to share it with my friends that were there when I read it as well. Poor Sadie…I’m glad that Ryan came to her rescue though 🙂
Kailey (SnackFace) says
HAHAHAHA. OMG that happens to our dogs rather frequently…it’s disgusting/ I can’t imagine how uncomfortable that has to be.
Mostly though, I’m thrilled someone used “ass” in a post title. This is huge for the blogworld. I’m being totally serious!
peanutbutterfingers says
haha! if she ever gets a stick stuck, i’ll be sure to create a “shit stick” post for ya! 🙂
carlee says
hahahah! Oh please do!! 🙂
Kristin says
Omg I have a yellow lab and she gets ass grass alllll the time!! I always leave the task of plucking it out to her grandpa (my dad) haha. The worst is when she she digs through the bathroom trash and eats tampons!! eww and then she has the string hanging out of her butt– string ass? its soooo gross! the things dogs eat! I’ll never understand.
Amber K says
Alright. Lesson learned. Never eat and decide to check out a blog. 😉
Allison@ Happy Tales says
LOL this post is HILARIOUS! Oh my goodness… the things we do for our furbabies…
Lo says
this is soooo funny!!!
Stefanie says
HANGER..SADIE HAS A HANGERRR!!!
This is so funny, as our Daisy May LOVES grass and eats it every day much to our dismay.
So, hubby and I have named it “hanger” and if she has some grass sticking where the sun don’t shine, she will run around, dragging but, and then in house frantic, and whoever spots her first yells “HANGER! HANGERRRRRR!!!” and the spotter get napkin, while her butt is between out legs.
When the deed is done (which includes a wipe with a tucks and much washing on the parents side) she then knows she gets a treat, so she points her nose up to the treats and kisses us in gratitude.
HANGERRR!!!
Ashley says
I’ve been a silent reader now since September, but I wasn’t so silent when I read this at work and busted out laughing. This post totally made my day as well as my coworkers. my dog has issues all her own too and they are all precious hahaha I always think Sadie and charlee would be beat friends if they ever met 🙂
heather says

janetha @ meals and moves says
