What is it with Yorkies wanting to be hand fed? lol. I had one that would refuse to eat unless I hand fed him....and I did. He has passed on and now I have a second one that is trying to get me to do the same thing. My husband will catch me and tell me to stop and not create the same habit with Sam. So, when I put his food bowl down on the floor, Sam will just look at it and wait for me to hand feed him. I will ignore him and go about doing whatever in the kitchen. As long as I am in the kitchen with him and after a few min he has figured out I am not going to hand feed him, he will eat on his own but he eats really, really slow. My other Yorkie, cant eat fast enough and I have to keep an eye on him from trying to bird-dog Sam while Sam is eating. Scooter will pounce on Sam's bowl the moment Sam steps away and sometimes Sam takes a little breather from eating but will go back to it. Feeding dogs that eat like this makes it difficult when you have those rare moments when you have to leave them in some elses care. Thats a whole different story, lol.
