P.S. Today I went to Petsmart and found a raised two ceramic dish number. So far it's worked although I did catch Rockie trying to get his paw up into the bowl. After I said no, I haven't caught him and his mat that the dish sits on appears to be drying out so I am thinking that it may be working. The bowls are nice because they almost wedge themselves into the dish holder and he can't grab them with his teeth. We'll see....thanks for all of the suggestions--I love that I can get on this website and asked crazy questions and others have been in my shoes!! I love my Yorkie!!
