Cody and Watermelon

I recently read dogs can eat watermelon. It's good for them! I do not believe in giving pets table scraps.  However, we do give them fresh fruit or veggies if it is okay for dogs to have.  Watermelon recently got added to the boys fresh food list. They eat bananas, apples, carrots, and now watermelon. Mind you these items are treated similar to treats in our household and are not given every day. Bananas might be the slight exception....one of us likely gives the boys a slice of banana almost every morning at breakfast.  This is Cody's first experience with watermelon documented for all to see.  There was no way to document Simon's first experience with watermelon since his was gone like yesterday's news before I could blink!

Much to Simon's astonishment and dismay mommie actually had time to get the camera to photograph Cody with his watermelon. He sat there contemplating what to do with his piece of watermelon for what likely seemed like hours or days to Simmie.  It was a long time I will admit!  So long that I had my breakfast prepared and eaten before Cody finally decided to consume his lone piece of watermelon.   

He's so funny when given something new.  It takes him FOREVER to decide if it's okay to eat.  Does it smell right?  Does it look right?  What the heck is it? Why is she giving this to me suddenly?  Is today the day I die of food poisoning?  Are all questions I assume run through Cody's head!  Possibly I'm giving him way more credit than he deserves as he likely doesn't have that many thoughts.  Then again, who knows.  Either way, how many dogs do you know that would size up a piece of food so long that his or her owner has time to get the camera, take a picture, prepare breakfast, and eat breakfast before the dog FINALLY decides to eat his treat....the answer....not many!  Cody is in a class of his own!
