| Roxy is doing the weirdest thing! Hey y'all! Sorry I've been kinda MIA lately, between Roxy and school I've been buuuusssyyy! But, I wanted to ask you guys something. Roxy has tried to eat her poop twice now!!!! Is this normal?! She will play with it too... I've had her for a little over a week now, so of course she's not potty trained. But we're working on it! Whenever she has a accident, she will start barking at it and jumping at it... Then she will just grab a bite! How strange!! I just wanted to know if anyone else's Yorkie babies have done this???

| There are things you can obtain from your vet to put on their food to help deter them from the practice. It's fairly common in puppies, but you want to clean up their feces asap, too. You can read about it here: ASPCA - Virtual Pet Behaviorist - Coprophagia (Eating Feces)

| Rudi has a poo fetish :/ If Carmen has an accident that he sees before we do then he sees fit to "take care of it" for us

| Mine eats her own poo ocassionally as well as the cat poo. Oh and she has also ate her own vomit and the cat's hairball. She prefers the cat poo though You should see how I have to position the litter box so Miss thang can't get to it. |
