Yorkie Yakker | Pushes food bowl Does anyone know why my girl constantly drags her food bowl across the floor before she eats. Her water bowl is attached so she is making a mess! I don't get it!

| They are so funny sometimes. Have you thought about why she wants to be in a different location? Closer to you? or maybe away from something? Have you tried just moving her bowls to where she wants them? If you do, does she still move them before eating?

| Maybe you should try a heavier bowl? Or, 2 separate bowls - 1 for food and 1 for water. By the way I'm nearby in Hammond

| My Biewer picks up her bowl and carries it off into the Living Room. Then, as she's eating, instead of following the bowl across the floor, she'll stop eating, grab the bowl in her mouth and pull it back towards her feet. I have no idea why she does this, other than I think she's smarter that she has figured out how to control that situation, rather than follow the bowl around. But then she carries everyone else's bowls in the LR too, when they are done eating. I just wish she would learn to bring them back into the kitchen! lol! PS: you could get a stainless steel cat bowl to fit inside the double feeder so when you feed her you can just pop out the water bowl and let her be.
