| Weird things that Yorkies attempt to eat Good Friday Y'all... My baby love Roscoe has a weird tendecy to eat paper related items like toilet papers, newspapers, paper towels, magazines, tissues, etc. I mostly watch him like a hawk and make sure he stays away from "paper" but if I get distracted for a moment, I will catch him chomping on a newspaper or paper towel... I was wondering if your Yorkies also have weird eating tendencies...Let's spill!

BANNED! | Mine like cardboard too,lol Guess they are telling me they want more fiber. Mine do love to tear up anything paper, but I think its more of liking to see how big of a mess they can make for mom to clean up. They spread it all over and make as big of a paper shredding mess as possible,lol. |

She has a definite tp addiction, all of my paper back books have missing corners, and we have to have heavy-lidded trashcans or we've got big problems

| Oliver loves paper towels and toilet paper towels he will drag them out off the trash cans. Oh and i noticed the other day he was eatting dirt... probably tasted pretty gross. But when i take him on a walk he has to pick up every leaf (ive been trying to break him of this) and then drop it on the ground. |

| Dior love chewing on Real Estate books and she chewed the sides of my bible. Diesel loves to eat grass and those brown prickly things that falls off of the trees.

| Betty savors clumps of dirt/grass mixtures. Also, she never met a stick she didn't like. Pine cones, though, may be her all-time favorite! |

| Penny in general likes to taste everything on the floor. Only thing she shreds is TP, though. Riley, on the other hand loves to chew on tags (found on blankets and taken from new clothing), napkins, TP, june bugs, mulch, and my hair! The hair thing is a new one for me. I don't understand it at all. Think we've finally broken the habit of eating plants and stealing the fake filler from the plants around the house. |

| Sophie likes my paper back books too. She also will shred anything related to paper so house training has been very interesting. |

| Rocky tears up any tissue, napkin or paper related but wont eat it i will just find a big ol mess when i dont see him at my side i know he's up to something. I have to constantly be sweeping and mopping as well because of the wood floor we have a tendency to have alot of dust bunnys and he will eat that. My hair is long and curly and sometimes if he finds strands of my hair on the floor he will eat it too which in turn ends up hanging from his butt with pooop attached to it ewww lol. when i catch him i run to him tell him drop he will drop the paper but anything else i have to stick my finger in his mouth to try and take it out but he moves his tounge around fast trying to swallow it lol

| He eats paper, flipflops (see pic) and the straw on my broom. I have to watch him like a hawk around the broom!

| It looks like it's a Yorkie thing! Tearing paper, any kind of paper, apart with such joy amazes me. I thought it was a fetish at first Second is coffee! Buddy has gotten into my coffee twice in the last three weeks. The results from it is diahrea.(s) I, at times, forget and leave it on the table for a minute and his snoot is right in the cup! I really have to try and think in the future not to leave it. |
