Comment on Say Hello to the Newest Member of the Milán Pack! by Victor

Hey, Jean! Welcome, thanks, and hope to see you around here often!

Yes, he’s shaping up to be a smart, active, spirited little guy. He’s very people oriented, and already bonded to me.

Relations with the other creatures are … gradually improving. Poor Emma is being a total saint. She’s so gentle, and wants so hard to be friends. She also seems puzzled and concerned that he’s still dubious about her.

Squeak hasn’t killed him and isn’t fretting herself to death. So we’re good there.

I think everybody’s going to be friends. It’s just taking time.

As I right this he’s chewing on the clasp of my suspenders.

He has beautiful coloring and intelligent eyes. Oh, and everything belongs to him now. He will be a great little buddy. Congratulations! Believe Emma Dog when she says it’s not her fault.

Ground flora, low-lying or low-growing greenery/vegetation, ground hugging, creeping or crawling floor vines, sprawling green and say this five times: forest floor flora… Earth embracing, and the ever popular when translating Latin poetry – verdant bed. Runners and vines and dense green – oh my! How about a botanic blanket?

The first word that comes to mind is “herbage.” After all, plants that grow low to the ground, without rigid stems, are called “herbs.” There is also a more specialized word, “forb” (from Greek phorbe, pasture or fodder), meaning an herbaceous plant that is not a grass. Perhaps one of these would do?

undergrowth, understory (that one’s probably fraught with confusion…), lawn, pasturage? Silage? OK, I’m wandering too far afield….
