Bananas or maybe not?

Yesterday Leah pup stared at me as I chomped a banana. I offfered her a bite. She rared back like I had poison in my hand. I then offered the snack to Sally pup. She grabbed it and ate it. I gave her another piece. Leah stared like Sally had lost her doggie marbles.
About an hour ago I sat out on our deck swing, eating a banana. The rebel hen walked around below me, chattering her hen gossip. I tossed her a bite of banana. Right away she pecked up chunks. How does a hen know to eat something that no hen in this part of the world has had contact with? Made me laugh, anyway.

@Jessicalynnt The Buff Orpington hen is pretty big. They're more afraid of intruders than you might be of them.

Makes you wonder what a hen would not eat.

They don't know what it is. It's a good treat for dogs.

@celticeagle I agree but it looks like each dog has their own opinion.

The banana would have made me jump back, too. My stomach does not like then and has a habit of throwing it back out.

@RichardMeister I am the same way with green bananas. I love ripe ones, though.

That's funny. Also funny how one dog liked it and the other didn't. Some people freeze chunks of fruit for a summer dog treat.
