Gilbert the Good - the banana

 

Gilbert the Good – the banana

The other day I noticed a lovely bunch of bananas on the kitchen work top. They looked delicious and my mouth was watering at the prospect of eating one. I sniffed and gazed and sniffed again. 

I’ve often heard Janice telling Frankie to ‘help himself’ so I thought I could do the same. After all, I’m a big boy now and I like bananas very much, so I did what anydog would do and helped myself.


The bunch landed on the floor and I carefully separated one and took it to my bed. I was just about to eat it when my humans noticed and removed it. I was disappointed but also very proud of myself; there were no toothmarks on the banana and it wasn’t at all bruised.

We Labradors have very soft mouths.

    1. Dogs and bananas are fine. Gilbert and Roxy really enjoy an occasional banana.

  5. Gilbert, you are indeed an amazing dog. Now that banana will go to a deserving human.

  6. Oh Gilbert - caught out! I can't imagine what banana does to your digestive system? My friend's dog eats everything his humans eat except lettuce and celery - but he doesn't get human meals just his own specially prepared ones. Perhaps you need to perfect big soft eyes along with that soft retriever mouth.

  7. Gilbert says: Roxy and I both love bananas - and carrots - and celery, but they are only occasional treats, sadly . . .

  8. Oh dear, Gilbert, being caught out after so much effort must have been quite the letdown! xxx

  10. I suppose Gilbert couldn't be rewarded with the whole banana but I would have been very tempted if confronted with that sweet face.

    1. Sometimes he does have a whole banana - it goes down almost in one!
