in which our grass is resilient and grows back despite the lack of any assistance on our part

Lookie here, our grass grew back for the summer!

benjacat and prudencerabbit's recipe for spectacular grass regrowth
-neglect and ignore grass until it burns out during unusually hot and dry summer (benefit: no need to waste fossil fuels mowing)
-let 5 dogs run around on it throughout unusually cold and snowy winter (ok, 4 dogs--Reuben does not do winter, unless he is snugged up inside on his favorite couch)
-let 5 dogs run around on it throughout unusually cold and rainy spring
-practice agility on it throughout unusually cold and rainy spring until it looks like the underside of Reuben's belly (ie: naked)

et voila! lush, green grass by June.

Here is what we did today:
backyard practice 6.2.11

My phone was low on batteries, so my video came out a bit jerky. You can still see all of the exciting parts, though. And you can hear my dog being a punk while her big bro Reuben is running with (gasp!) HER daddy. The nerve.
