These little geniuses will KILL you if you let them, over the extensive elaborate menu they want YOU to provide them!!! I USED to do the very same thing....and then loose sleep because I was afraid my baby would starve to death during the night and I would wake up and find his pitiful little wasted body......HAH!!!!! I am onto those little buggers now!!!

I finally learned, if you do not have a pup that has been medically diagnosed with a disease or condition that REQUIRES a special diet formula, I will not waste time catering to the whims and imaginations of a little dog and what baby thinks it would like to have today, thank you very much! Diseases or medical conditions require attention to diet....but your regular little smart as a whip Yorkie, will have you jumping thru hoops and balancing on balls, trying to find something baby will eat! Dont even go there!

Now that YOUR baby has actually shown his true colors, and is thrilled to be eating what you are offering, DO NOT start jumping and switching around....feed the same thing, day in and day out, and if one day, pup decides he will skip his meal and see how it affects YOU and what it will present to HIM, dont fall for it...Fella, you eat what hits that bowl, when it goes down, or ......you will be hungry enough to eat your NEXT meal....or the one after that!!! I can promise you, your baby will be fine and will NOT fall over dead from starvation!! And YOU wont be having guilty feelings or sleepless nights, worrying about what food you can try next!

I tell my dogs the same thing my own momma used to tell my brother and I....."This is NOT a cafe and I am NOT a short order cook....I fixed dinner, good food you like, and you can either eat it or not, your choice....maybe you will be hungry enough for a good breakfast in the morning."

Good for you!! Congratulations getting on the right path!!!
