When my kids lived in Florida for a couple of years, they developed a taste for something known as sweet tea. If you are not familiar with this drink, it’s basically iced tea with sugar in it. It’s way to sweet for me, but hey, to each his own.
This time of year, you’ll find a lot of dogs eating grass. My vet says this is because the grass is sweet time of year, which is why I’m calling this, the sweet tea for dogs.
FTR I do have a dog, that loves the sweet grass. This time of year, Delilah becomes an eater of grass. She’s particular about WHICH grass she eats, carefully checking out the taller grass, which is typically found around the mailboxes.
The funny thing is, despite the fact that she WANTS to eat the grass, she makes the funniest faces while she’s doing it.
It’s tasty, but it tickles my tongue.
Unfortunately, it’s difficult to catch on camera, but if I had to describe it, the best I can do is she wrinkles her nose.
I can’t help but laugh.
You make me laugh (or smile.) The sweet, funny, loving things my dogs do that make me laugh or smile.
What did your pet do that made you laugh or smile.
Yep, we all love to eat that sweet grass too,and it drives my mom crazy!
Sweet anything sounds good to me. Less sweet was the giant pile of mulch outside. This morning I dug into it with my nose. Mom laughed and took me away from it. I was hoping to dig down and find something yummy, but no such luck. #drbuzzkill

I tease these two that they are part cow. Moooo
I can just imagine Delilah’s wrinkled nose! Ducky does the same thing at times when she inhales one of Shadow’s furs! 🤣
As for the human sweet tea? I’m right there with ya! WAY, WAY, WAY too sweet for me! I get unsweetened with lemon or I get water.
We’re also with you on the whole sweet tea thing. Sweet grass is a whole ‘nutter story.
I have never tried iced tea and don’t generally like sweet teas. At the moment i like Yorkshire tea. Merlin likes the long grass, but short grass will do. If he sees me picking it he will eat it out of my hands which he’s done since puppyhood. Grass aids digestion apparently. I’ve always wondered how they know how to do this.
Luke drives me crazy constantly stopping to eat grass when we’re out on a walk! I always tell him he can eat grass at home in the yard, but apparently the grass in the woods is special. 🙂
