Hi y'all!

My Barnaby is just about 6 months old now, and his feeding habits have changed quite a bit over the last couple of months. He really only seems to want to eat once a day (I put food out in the morning, he has little interest, only wants to go for a walk and then play with me for a while before I go to work) then I leave it for him in his pen until I get home in the evening (or change the food if I make it home in the afternoon for lunch, which I try to do as much as possible.).But most nights, he only wants to eat after walking and playing a LOT after I get home (I've never been so tired, but on the upside, have lost 10 pounds!), and basically chows down around 9 PM.

He seems happy, he doesn't whine with hunger, he pees and poops on a nice regular basis, and he is certainly NOT lethargic, so I guess that's OK. I know Yorkies aren't supposed to eat much. But just wondering if this sounds fairly normal?

Thanks in advance for any advice and comments! :-)
