| Hi, I'm new! Hi everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself and my yorkie puppy Madison . She's now 8 months old and I've had her since she was 12 wks old. She's an absolute delight (and full of fun quirks)! I've been reading this forum for quite a while, but never posted...until now! I feed Madison a combination of wet and dry food. But she has this habit of taking a bite out of her bowl and walking 3 ft away to chew it, then returns to get one more and repeats. Of course she eats the wet food first, but when it comes to the dry food she barks at the bowl later on when shes still hungry and waits for me to feed the kibble to her one piece at a time... Do other yorkies have weird eating habits? I grew up with Airdales and Bichon Frise's who gobble up whatever is in their bowl as fast as possible, so this is all new to me. Thanks !! Lexi |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | Welcome, Lexi! My Dallas does the same thing. He grabs a kibble and runs under the dining room table to eat it. These yorkies are such characters! Look forward to hearing more from you!!

| Welcome to YT!!! My girl doesn't have the bad eating habit.. but your pup might be teething.. and it might be good to have a kong or some other toys that help him her with his teeth. I also would love to see the pic of your girl too Quote:

| She has all of her grown up teeth already. And definitely has plenty of toys (hard and soft) that she plays with non-stop. Sometimes I think it's a game she plays or something left over from when she was little with other puppies trying to save her own food. At one point she was taking pieces of wet food and burying them in the corner of her doggie bed or the couch...which was gross and I quickly discouraged. But on a lighter note... here are some recent pictures of Madison (and one of her and her bichon buddies at home on christmas)! |

| Welcome to you and Madison to YT.. My girls do that all the time..My oldest, Diva, sometimes won't eat her dry kibble unless I hand feed it to her.. All of them do the burying thing....I think it's just their nature and I don't bother them too much with it..it's usually a dry treat so I let them do their thing... Oh, btw- Madison and her friends are cuties!
