Cody and his pet grape!

This is funny! The boys never get table scraps. I vowed I would never feed them like that and I've kept to that. Of course from time to time they get something that falls on the floor. The unavoidable mishaps is what they get in on. Well last night we dropped a small bowl of grapes. Simon was of course right on the spot. He has radar detection that tells him to get to the kitchen pronto when anything drops. So when the bowl of grapes dropped Simon got 1 possibly 2 before we picked them all up. Not wanting things to be unfair we gave Cody a grape. Now after eating out of a dog bowl for his whole life and getting only the occasional lick of peanut butter and chunk of banana when he's handed something foreign to him he's suspicious. At first he gave the grape a dirty look. Then the grape was laid right in front of him he soon ate it but after some deliberating. When this morning rolled around the small bowl of "floor" grapes still sat on the counter. I decided to give each dog a grape after all no human is going to eat them. Simon gobbled his without tasting it and looked at me to give him another before I even had time to give one to Cody. When I gave one to Cody I put it in his mouth. Which you can easily do with Cody and not risk losing a finger! Upon receiving the grape Cody went over to lay on the floor. He licked it. He looked the grape over than just sat there with it between his paws. But didn't eat it. When he needs to get up and follow his mommie into the next room he brings the grape along. It's been hours now and he just keeps taking the grape from room to room and keeping it close to him. He's keeping it so close to him that Simon doesn't have a chance at getting it. The grape is like his new little pet! He's hilarious!
