Has anyone heard of Boxers loving Bananas? or is Boomer just weird? I've got into the habit of not leaving butter, bread, cookies or anything else edible on the kitchen counter (or it will invariably disappear) but Bananas? I had 6 of them sitting nicely on the counter for the picking...and then there were 4. I found Boomer on his bed happily eating the second one with the peel from the first lying beside him. Apparently he chews open the peel, and eats the fruit inside! He just loves me to cut up an apple for him too, peel and all. Loves any kind of melon, and grapes are a goldmine! Red and yellow peppers are also a favorite. I keep thinking that as long as it's nutritious, I can't be upset with him eating all these goodies. I've just never heard of it before...lol Now if I could only convince him that 'Cat' is not a food group! Every day he amazes me with his antics!

Nope, not weird - my girls love fruits and veggies too! Apples, oranges, bananas, broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, cabbage (although you have to watch out for the *other* end with these!) romaine lettuce, tomatoes, melon, peppers, mushrooms, carrots, kale, bok choy, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, regular potatoes. . . Basically everything, except onion, grapes or raisins, as I've heard that too many of them can be toxic to dogs.

My boys loves bananas.... ..As for grapes ..they are NOT good for our furbabies...& remember to removed the seeds from the apples..& peaches..!!

My Red dog LOVED bananas...but it was so funny to watch him eat them! He would roll them around in his mouth and chew and chew. You would have thought they were bones...I guess he was just savoring the taste.

Same here...they'll eat just about anything!

Willis goes ballistic if I don't share a banana with him... he will woowoo, whine, bark and paw at me over bananas and if I don't give him a bite he sulks. Funny little creatures! He also likes other fruit and veggies except for peas and broccoli.

As for the grapes... When Willis was a puppy he got at a bag of grapes and ate them ALL within about 2 minutes of me leaving him alone. I came downstairs and he was chewing on the stem. I induced vomiting because I heard they were bad for him and ... let me tell you... you would not believe how many grapes can fit inside a 20 lb puppy. Enough to cover a significant portion of your back yard!

Bananas are the best according to my two, they sit and wait patiently for the last bit They've never had the chance to peel their own though Strawberries are good, pear, kiwifruit.
Zach was the only one who didn't go for banana

Ginger loves bananas too. I have to give her a few pieces when I am having one, she will drool unti she gets some. She loves apples & pears too.

Yep, Laila loves bananas too! If I'm eating one, she's always close by, droolin and waiting for a piece.
She LOVES pineapple the most though. She will practically sit on my feet if I'm cutting one up!

Yep they love anything - mine have always loved watermelon too.

BUT might be an idea to stop the counter surfing now - what is sometimes cute - can also be damn annoying and/or dangerous. Better to teach him now than be sorry later.

Yep - Ben loves bananas, but you have to peel them for him.

My last boxer, Max, on the other hand, could peel his own. It was his 'party trick' and everyone who saw it was most impressed!

All the kids love bananas ! I've been know to get a not so gentle nudge or two if i'm not cutting them up fast enough. Cantalope is another crowd favorite-especially for Pooh,they all love it.As soon as I bring one home,there are 4 patiently waiting,drooling furballs sitting around the cutting board,waiting for me to start handing out the goodies!
They also like pineapple,apples,pears,peaches,applesauce and pretty much any veggie. Everybody loves cauliflower-but it doesn't love them P-U !

Kato loves apples! We don't offer ours much other than dog food so I don't know about all the other fruits. Kato prefers his apple sliced.

I want to double what Vickie said about grapes. They are bad on their kidneys if I am not mistaken.

Oobie loves banana too - watching her eat it is the MOST hilarious thing in the world - it rolls around, falls out and she chops around like its the craziest thing in the world
