I love my little one-year-old 8lb yorkie. She is funny, smart, and opinionated. She is potty trained until she wants to make a statement (we have guests? you were gone too long? it's too cold outside? really?)
And she eats crazy stuff (sticks, acorns, worms, gekkos, small frogs, and the like) but sticks her nose up at dog food. I've made some of the concoctions suggested for "home made food for dogs" and healthy people food (cooked hamburger, raw hamburger, chopped ham, boiled chicken breasts and hearts and gizzards and liver, green beans cooked and raw, peas in the pod raw, raw carrots, and the like) and several types dog food (from cheap to expensive). she's good with the new stuff for a day or two, then sticks her nose up. The only thing she'd eat 24/7 is her little treats i use to teach her tricks and we all know that wouldn't be healthy!
She's not thin by any means, but not fat either. her skin and teeth look good and she gets regular checkups with the vet. her hair is long and lovely. is she normal or am i nuts to be concerned?
