I had a dog some years back that did this and I free fed her! I believe some dogs have an instinct to bury food "for later" but really have no need to go back for it. If Willow discovers what Chloe is doing, she will follow Chloe and eat what Chloe leaves. They are funny to watch. They are both hard at their jobs. lol I can't free feed now because Willow is already over-weight and I know she would eat all the time if it were down.

Ya, I'm not totally sure if she does it cause of the life she lived, or if she's just being one resourceful lil girl. Considering what she's been through though, I'd venture to say it's because of the life she'd had prior to coming to us. I'm in the same situation as you are with your lil ones and free feeding, I can't do it, Lil Miss Maggy May would become Lil Miss Piggy, lol.
