lol, Hot Rod used to do that. He would go get a piece of kibble, run clear across the family room eat it and do it again and again. Then when he started to get finicky, I would start playing with him and he'd run and get a piece of kibble come and play some more, get another piece and so on until he stayed at the bowl and ate it up. They definitely have strange little habits. lol
Congrats on you little one.
