Watermelon Mania
Despite Sid’s recent weight gain, it’s really hard to resist the urge to spoil him with treats. I mean, it’s not like he just eats treats matter-of-factly. Each treat is THE MOST AWESOME THING IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE to him. So when my kind neighbor offered me a hunk of watermelon, I just had to give Sid a taste. After all, the poor dude has never had the joy of eating fresh watermelon before.
As soon as the mysterious pink chunk was placed before him, his pug instinct kicked in and he confidently decided it was in fact food and bowed down accordingly before his new watermelon overlord.
Once he got the “OK” to dive in, mayhem soon followed.
Of course the first step was to ditch the dish. At least he was kind enough to continue chowing down in the kitchen instead of carrying his juicy friend onto my bedspread.
It actually took him a lot longer to work his way through the chunk than I had anticipated. The watermelon appeared to alternate between being stuck to the roof of his mouth and being wedged under his tongue.
Watermelon juice started oozing everywhere. Again, thank you, Sid, for staying clear of my bed and the couch. If anything, you’re a courteous glutton.
The chunk eventually met its demise and Sid was ready for more. Unfortunately for him, that was the only TOTALLY AWESOME BEST EVER TREAT he was going to get today. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

Some of my pugs just go crazy over watermelon, and some not so much. But it saved us one day, we had 2 pugs in the car it turned out to be a much hotter day than expected and the car broke down and I was frantic about keeping the dogs hydrated but I had bought a watermelon at a roadside stand earlier in the day and just busted that thing up and fed it to the pugs and us and kept everyone watered and happy!

Yum! Glad you got such a sweet treat, Sid. We tried yellow watermelon over the weekend and it was good too.
Love,
Christy
