thanks for the advise everyone
I figured out that if I put down the food in a corner of the kitchen and make her stay there, after a few seconds of turning her nose up at it she does start eating as long as I stay there and kind of let her know, hey this is what you get, there's nothing else better anywhere else in the house and it's time to eat NOW lol. I need to get her a pen type thing anyway (think I've heard it refered to as an x pen?) for when I have to leave her home alone so that's gonna be her eating area also and she's just going to go in it at meal times like the rest of the pets have their own "spot" to eat and I'd imagine she'll learn the routine quickly as long as I'm firm about it and don't cater to her. It was just frustrating because of her bringing up the bile because I know it was only because her tummy was empty and if she'd just eat the darn food...........lol. I'm so glad I found YT since Alice is so different than any dog I've had, it's great to have so many people who love their pets willing to offer advice to a Yorkie newbie
Thanks for your honest and sound advise
