OH these crazy yorks and their quirks, lol!

When my late Wylie was about 2yrs old, he somehow developed a habit of needing the kibble in his bowl 'fluffed'. In other words, he was on a more free-feeding plan back then -- but if he went over to eat kibble that had already been sitting there, he'd make a certain specific 'fussing about', we didn't know why. The first couple times, I thought something was maybe in his bowl, so I picked it up and looked around - nothing there - put the bowl down and he ate immediately. Going forward from there, he'd fuss around when he wanted to eat his leftover kibble - and one of us would have walk over, pick up the bowl, and 'fluff' it for him, and then he'd eat. Oh my! So he'd fuss and me and my husband would roll our eyes at each other and be all "um, it's your turn to fluff this time!" -- we pretended it was so annoying, but we actually thought it was so darn adorable.

For GRH, one thing to consider is making a really meaningful big change in her food situation. It can 'shock' them out of their super normal reaction/behavior. In other words, for example, get some canned food -- and use a teaspoon or whatever, depending upon her size (heat for 12 seconds if stored in fridge) mash it up good in the bowl, and then coat/mix it into her kibble. Try feeding that inside. If that doesn't work, then maybe try something Sojos pre-mix food - where you just add your own cooked or raw meat. Bc she may be one of those dogs who isn't the biggest fan of kibble, but somehow she attached the car to eating anyway.

Keep us posted!
