Default How many times a day does your Yorkie eat?

I'm asking because Adie has stopped eating her morning food. We all get up at 5AM and she gets Royal Canine almost immediately. We leave it down until 9AM and she eats none of it except on days when she may eat 2 or three bites. We then feed her again at 3:00PM with the bigger dogs.
She will eat sometimes and sometimes she won't. She turns a year old this month so she is still on soft puppy food for that feeding. We hope to switch her over to a brand she will go nuts over on the 20th.

I have been experimenting the last few weeks with different foods and haven't found one she likes all that much yet. It is getting pretty expensive. I'm at a loss.

In the afternoon feeding she will sneak over to Cassie's bowl and eat as much as Cassie lets her have. She seems to like it just fine but I think she eats it more out of jealousy, It is the gravy and meaty pieces from Mighty Dog. I tried giving that to her in the morning and she walks away from it too.

The only thing left to do is to discontinue her morning feeding. But is one meal a day appropriate for a Yorkie? Adie is well developed and isn't the least bit skinny. She is still 4lb 2oz. She is only eating once a day anyway so what difference would it make?

Any suggestions?
Thanks for any thought you get.
Lou
