I don’t think there’s any food or treat that Daisy likes better than watermelon.
When we cut one open, she recognizes the sound and comes flying into the kitchen, then fixates on it until we serve it up. She gets one little scoop from the middle, then after we’re done, she drinks the juice from the “watermelon bowl” and nibbles bits and pieces from the sides.
After her feeding frenzy, she had a pink beard and mustache that just wouldn’t come out in a picture. But we all had a good laugh! 😀
We’re part of the Thursday Barks and Bytes blog hop!
a dog and a watermelon, that are signs of summer :o) I’m not a fan of fruits, butt my momma would love to share a wallymelon with you:o)
Daisy’s boarding a plane to come share your momma’s watermelon! 😉
my dad says she can get the whole watermelon he had a wild night after watermelon and iced buttermik (dad’s have a crazy menu card)
WOOHOO!!! The whole thing?! Daisy may never want to come home again! (Sorry that combo didn’t work well for your dad though…)
Cuuuute! 🙂
I really want to try my pups with watermelon, they’ve never had it…yes, we are abusive XD
LOL We hadn’t thought about it until we saw a woman giving her dog watermelon at an outdoor summer festival we went to. She said it was a good way to keep them hydrated since they don’t always drink enough water. I checked with our vet about it and he confirmed it was a good idea…much to Daisy’s joy! 🙂
Funny i must try the boys with it..they hanker after canteloupe so maybe like Daisy they will enjoy 🙂 great pics hugs Fozziemum
Thank you! Cantaloupe is listed as one of the top good fruits for dogs, they’ll probably love it! 🙂
I bet they do 🙂 🙂
Sampson and Delilah love watermelon too! Except I couldn’t put the “bowl” down in front of Delilah. I’d be afraid she would eat the rind. Lol
Thanks for joining the blog hop!
Mmmmmm, I bet that’s good. I love watermelon and so does Torrey.
Isn’t it great when the pups love something that’s good for them? Daisy loves the aromas of chocolate and coffee, neither of which can she have. So I’m happy to be able to share watermelon with her. 🙂
That is so cute, I love how Daisy gets the “bowl”! Our Luke loves watermelon too, and my hubby has been buying one weekly and they share it (I eat some, but it’s not my favorite). . Like Jodi, I couldn’t give Luke the bowl either though, because he’d probably eat the whole thing. 🙂
Watermelon isn’t my favorite, but I do love the super-sweet part in the middle. Once that’s gone, it’s all Daisy’s LOL!
LOL I agree with Daisy. I love watermelon although right now I can’t really have it. Bummer. Brown dawgs like it too and often get a few pieces if I am having some. Thanks for joining the hop!
That just means that you have to heal up quickly before watermelon season is over! 😉
I love the pictures of Daisy waiting impatiently for her watermelon treat, and then watch her get into it…so funny, and a pic of her pink beard and mustache would be priceless!
I’ve never tried Poppy with watermelon, I didn’t know dogs liked it – she might like it too.
We found out a few years ago that watermelon is a good way to keep dogs hydrated outdoors in summer – much to Daisy’s joy! 😉
Wow! I have never seen a pup chow down on watermelon before! It’s so funny that Daisy actually runs into the kitchen when she hears the sound of you cutting into the watermelon. I think that’s so interesting. It’s a very healthy treat, so why not, I guess! I think I’ll offer some to Zena soon and at least see if she also thinks this is a treat. And I love Daisy’s Panda eyes! She’s such a cutie!
Thank you Debra! There are two main sounds that bring Daisy running into the kitchen expectantly – peeling carrots and cutting open a watermelon. Sometimes she races in so fast, she can’t stop and ends up crashing into the cabinets!
That is some patient waiting!
Yes, but it doesn’t come without grumbling and occasional whining!
Those photos and captions made me smile! Daisy must really looove her watermelon!
Although I’ve heard many people give their pups watermelon, I just haven’t tried it yet. Cody loves his food but I’m not sure if he would appreciate watermelon! I remember how disgusted he was when we first tried to give him carrot!
I’m so glad you enjoyed them! 🙂 It’s so true that different dogs have different tastes, and now we’ve discovered that Daisy’s tastes have changed suddenly – she no longer cares for apples, which used to be her favorites! Go figure!
OMG, OMG, those pink ear-ends and beard are capable of making Daisy’s cuteness-factor even higher! Could we have a video, too? Pleaaaaaaaaaase!!!! I bet her nom-nom-noises are super cute, too!
That’s a good idea! We’ll have to take a video of her watermelon-mania! 🙂
I didn’t know dog can eat watermelon!!
It’s too sweet for my babies.
I bet daisy looks like vampire afterward 😉
HAHA Yes, a feminine vampire – pink beard instead of red! LOL 😀
