Giant Chunk of Frozen Pureed Watermelon

July 15, 2025 by Krissy Brasfield

Pineapple juice pool, floating gatorade ice treats, and a giant chunk of frozen pureed watermelon.  A beautiful late spring, practically summer day.  All of your friends together in a spacious greenhouse, feeling the gentle breeze on your face, admiring the stunning view.

What a perfectly delightful afternoon!

At least it WAS perfect.  Until Rayne tried moving in on MY prized possession, that giant chunk of frozen pureed watermelon.

Sincerely,

Terry

    Terry seems to know very well that possession is 9/10 of the law!
    Nice of him to share. If he ate it all by himself, I imagine he’d have to skip dinner! U fortunately, Rayne didn’t know that the sharing was for a limited time only!
    I guess we know what to make for Raynes birthday! (just smaller ones) And maybe Foxie’s, too!

      Terry did a good job of sharing.

    How nice of Terry to share with Rayne – for a little while, at least.

    This video highlights the joys of summer. Hanging out together, gathering around the refreshing water tub or sitting together on the log. Krissy, I simply loved your video, especially the ending. And the award for best food peering goes to Rayne! How could Terry resist?! The closeup on Terry and Rayne sharing that huge chunk of juicy frozen pureed watermelon, those two sweet faces side by side, slurping away, is one of the best moments I’ve seen in a while. Everything seems better when shared with a friend….at least for a little while. 😉

    So everyone gets a taste I suggest you use ice cube trays next time.

    Good boy Terry! At least for a bit!

    Terry’s a good natured guy! Can’t blame Rayne for her persistance, it looks very refreshing!

    I forgot to add my most favorite part : The way Terry closes his eyes when he takes his first two bites of the frozen watermelon. Too precious for words!
