More Please

We wanted to see if the experience we had a couple weeks ago with the watermelon was a one time thing or if it was something they really liked.

Rob cut the melon up in little bite size pieces again and put it in the pink tub.


Because Samba hogged the melon last time, we decided to split them up. Samba would be in the second group. Morgan and the pups went first. They know good things come in that pink tub.


It's hard to see, but Norma Jean is jumping pretty high in this shot.


Everybody looks pretty excited.


I'm telling them to sit, but only some are paying attention.


Well, it seems to be a hit, again.


Morgan wasn't playing nicely. She'd growl at the others to keep away. After we told her to stop, she did and she and Noah shared.


They each try to get the very last piece.

Next we brought the older dogs out.


Fudge showing that he can fly.


That boy has trouble keeping four on the floor.


It's hard to set the tub down with him bouncing up so high.


Finally Rob got the tub down and they dove in. Hmm, it seems that Morgan is back for a second round.


These two want to monopolize the melon. They're scooping it up as fast as they can.


Samba got a little carried away.


Sky and Tsar aren't as pushy as the others and they weren't getting their share. Rob gave Sky a helping hand.

The last time we had melon, Tsar didn't like it. We gave him a piece and he spit it out. This time he thought he'd might like to try it, but he wasn't into fighting Samba for it.

He's a big old gentle guy, so I handed him a piece and he decided that he does like melon after all.
So the answer is, yes, watermelon is a very popular summer treat on a hot afternoon. Just make sure everyone gets a share. Go check out Dogs-N-More and join our discussions.

Watermelon is a good treat indeed. And of course they weren't listening to you tell them to sit - you weren't holding the pink bucket. That sure looks yummy. g

I love the flying Fudge photos! Does Tsar ever just stand back and look at the rest of the frenzied pack, thinking, "Guys, chill out!"?

That I will have to try.
Glad I found you Sue. I have 6 dogs as of last Monday. I rescue cats and dogs. I love them all.
One of my girls, Sasha also pants like your baby. She's 10, has short little legs and tires easily. I have no records as of yet from previous owners. : (
I will keep in touch with your blog. I love it.
Happy DOT
Love Claudie

All of my dogs love watermelon. Trinket can eat it off the rind if I hold a slice for him. It's so cute to see the lines of little white teeth working on the red melon. I did the same for our rescue Westie, Macie, and she just went CHOMP, including the finger! Never tried that again.

Hi Sue,

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and the sweet welcome to DOT. Since your visit I have posted my DOT for this week. I hope you can come back and meet my little pack of happiness.

Your dogs are gorgeous! And watermelon? I would have never thought. I'm thinking a picnic in the dog park sounds like a plan!

Have a great day,
Sharon

Tee said...

ohhhh, now that's a thought! Think i'll got try that out with the dogs! Thanks for sharing.

Also I think dogs can differentiate colours ... we have a couple of different coloured rubber balls and Joe likes his black ball, Trixie his blue and TUffy his blue!

Cool post on the watermelon (pun intended)... MaggieMae likes it too, but when I threw the rind into my flowers along the fence, she decided she needed some roughage too, and chomped down a piece of that! She keeps stealing my compost material! She likes grass too. Strange dog... lol.
