So you are a Yorkie dad and not mom!!!
It must be hard leaving your dogs all day while you work, but hang in there.
I know how it feels though to have a usually ravenous dog change to one who is suddenly picky. But the rest of the day he is his usual foodie self.
My boy is the same and now is hesitant to eat at first in the morning, whereas before he could not wait to eat. If Pilot has some slight GI distress since he was sick, or perhaps there was some change in feeding routine. These dogs are very sensitive to habit changes and our emotions and body language.
I know my dog watches my every move and in the mornings now he waits until I go to the fridge for the salmon oil. Even if I just pretend to add the oil, he will eat!!! I used to have a dog who would not eat unless a man was in the room to feed him!!!
So praying that Pilot is not sick and that he is just going through a weird psych phase. If he is sick he would not eat at all. But you know your dogs and I see that if they took a turn for the worse, you would be on it.
By the way, I wonder about the names? I thought Pilot was just that and Pax was for passenger???
In the meantime there are many helpful suggestions on here to help Pilot enjoy his food more.
Thanks for the updates and please keep them coming.
