Watermelon entertainment

One quality that we share with our dog Deacon is his love for food.  He is a "foodie" as they call it.  He's not picky either- he will eat anything that you offer him- meat, vegetables, fruit, chips, icecream- you name it he'll eat it.  However, we have recently discovered that he loves watermelon.  And by love I mean that he is absolutely smitten with it. Normally when we give Deacon a treat we make him sit and he gets excited and starts to cry and then gobbles down his treat. 

But watermelon is a different story. Three is no crying or pacing, just sitting and waiting with this look on his sweet face that could melt an Alaskan glacier.  Which is funny. But the funniest part is that he actually eats it off the rind.  He munches it all the way down just like you or I would.  Kyle & I have found it particuarly amusing to feed him watermelon lately.  Now that 'Modern Family' and 'How I Met Your Mother' are on break for the summer, this is our entertainment.     

Look at that clean rind, he didn't leave a drop!

And we know that not all dogs do this because as you can see in the first photo, little Mercedes is in the background uncertain about what is going on and clearly not as enamoured with the watermelon as her tubby brother.
