Cocoa. The Coconut. The Cocoanator.
Notice the tilt of her head, the wrinkles on her brow, the spot of drool on her lower lip.
All I had to say to get this freeze-frame reaction is: BANANA.
This dog will do anything to have a banana. A little tip for anyone visiting our house, if you plan on eating a banana, you had best do it when the dog is outside and can’t hear you break one off the bunch or smell it when you begin to peel. She has risen from a dead sleep in another room just at the sound/smell of a banana.
And after I snapped this picture we went inside and shared a banana and all was right in the world.
I heart my banana loving doggies and of course I heart ‘Bartholomew.’ He is the quietest creature we have. And he does not require bananas. (you can’t see it well, but his ‘greenery’ is coming in very nice)
That is a great picture! What a pretty, shiny coat. The golden retrievers next door love it when I share a banana with them too.
ReplyDeleteHow funny that Cocoa likes bananas! I love Bart...and I'm wondering if Ozzie might be a bit jealous of him.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite vacation memories as a kid is of the time when we were driving home from Oregon. My brother was asleep in the back seat of the car, and someone opened a banana in the front. He woke up, asked, "Do I smell a banana?" and we all cracked up. He would get along beautifully with Cocoa...but they'd have to share.
ReplyDeleteHow cute! Buster is like that over bread. I swear! It's so weird. If I get anywhere near the breadbox when he's around, he instantly is at my side, hoping for a yummy slice of soft, chewy wheat bread. Ironically, that's how I give him his medicine (wrapped in bread!) He's so weird!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Dixie is lover of bread. She can hear the crinkle of a bread bag from a mile away. She always shares a piece of bread in the am when I make toast. If I'm not up early enough, she will wake me;)
ReplyDeleteThat is one great pic.
ReplyDeleteToo funny! Bananas... at my house it's cereal or toast. The cat perches nearby so she can swat at the crumbs or lick the bowl. And yes we let her.. but she has to wait until we're finished! lol I can see how the greenery is coming in nicely. I love it! : )
ReplyDeleteCocoa is beautiful. Never tried giving our boxers a banana. Quade would eat it. He eats anything. I think Bart is looking very nice.
ReplyDeleteLOL that would go down well here... one dog likes olives and cheese while the other one likes jellybeans and licorice. The bananas are still up for grabs :-D
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pic AND GARDEN, Busy Bee!!
here your dog loves bananas and my human friend finds them repulsing. Hmmmmm
ReplyDeletegreat photo, i don't have any dogs, so can't share any doggy stories :) the greenery on bart is coming along nicely!
ReplyDeleteSoooooo cute :) I love that he loves bananas :) what a silly puppy!
ReplyDeleteHahaha...you do have a funny way with words. Love that banana-loving pup! My kitty, Bip, rises from the dead also when I crack a can of tuna. Sometimes we open one just to see him run (then, of course, we give him some...).
ReplyDeleteMy dogs are carrot lovers.
ReplyDeleteThat picture is cracking me up! I cannot get my boys to pose that good for a picture. No dogs, just a guinea pig that loves carrots. So much that we grew them in our garden this year!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous picture. Reminded me of our Boxer-Ocean, who passed though away! We have now a beatiful labrador-Buddie!!
ReplyDeletethat is funny!
ReplyDeletei got a quick look at bart while we were driving by the other day. i thought it was a real doggie for a second!
It always amazes me to find out there are other dogs out there that love bananas! Great great picture:)
ReplyDeleteMy dog's human food of choice? Cheese
ReplyDeleteGo figure!
A dog that likes bananas... I've never known of one but we don't have bananas around our house. I need to get our dog to try one and see!
ReplyDeleteThis is the cutest thing I have seen all day. All stinking day : ) I love bannanas too. Maybe I am part boxer.
ReplyDeleteBoth doggies are cute!
ReplyDeleteDaisy will eat bananas but she doesn't crave them. Apples, though, are a different story. She'll do just about anything for a bit of apple.
That is so darn cute that your dog likes bananas!! I think you need to indulge in a banana split for the 2 of you too! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhen I had a boxer all I had to say was "wallet." I don't know why. But the word "wallet" would make her freeze and tilt her head. Maybe she was a thief in another life.
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome photo! And for my dog? It's lettuce. Seriously. Lettuce. Break off a head and you had better be dressed as a Gladiator because she's coming for the leaves....
ReplyDeleteso cute, suz! banana, eh? i will try that with bella. your cocoa is so frikking cute. whatta face!
ReplyDeletec
Oh, he is a cutie! Bananas? Really? My friend's dog loves carrots! How funny is that!?
ReplyDeleteI prayed for you on your trip today.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that dogs ate bananas. See what an accomplished dog owner I am? Travel safely :)
ReplyDeleteBusy Bee, where aaare yoooouuu!
ReplyDeleteBananas are my favorite thing too. Me and Cocoa would be BFF!
