My 10 mo. old sort of does this too. She always has kibble in her bowl but in the evening when I sit down to relax for the day I will grab a handful of kibble and she eats it like she's starving. She has to eat the one little piece that drops before she eats out of my hand. (She just left a full bowl of food) I'm thinking she does this out of habit that I created. When she was young I was so afraid that she wasn't eating enough and she was such a wiggle worm I used food to keep her still and not want to jump off the couch. She doesn't bark or whine and this is our time to sit together being calm, watching tv and she gets her hair combed as well.
