Strawberry pickin' doodle

[Lynda Kamrath]

I haven't seen this topic (yet) but my doodle loves to pick strawberries.  He doesn't like to eat them - just pick them.  We have strawberries planted under the larger plants on the patio and he started watching them as soon as they started to rippen.  He would pick them and tried eating a few but decided they were not to his taste.  I would scold him and tell them they were "mine".  I even washed them off and ate them while he watched telling him they were "mine".  Now he picks them as soon as they are ripe, doesn't damage them at all, and places them on the back step.  I have a couple of fresh strawberries each morning.

Reminds me of the calico cat I had when I was a child.  We slept outside frequently and in the morning we would always have a mouse on our chest when we woke up (for breakfast).  She loved hunting all night for her family.

Animals are so funny!

That's hilarious!  And so cute!

Hmmm...  Let me see, a dead mouse on my chest or a couple of freshly picked, vine ripened strawberries - I think I'll take the strawberries!!!

ME TOO!  I enjoy eating the strawberries, but just carried the mouse through the house and deposited in the garbage pail (instructions from my Mom).  Couldn't throw it away, she would just fetch it and bring it back.  Silly cat!

If the dead mouse thing happened here, Laurie, Fudge and Vern would soon be Fudge and Vern. My heart would explode :) I am with you on the strawberries.

This is so sweet just like the strawberries!

Fresh picked strawberries for you every morning, if this dood was a dude he would be marriage material.

That is so sweet and how smart of him to realize this is for you and not him and continue to do it. Very thoughtful doodle you have there.

How sweet - fresh fruit every morning.
