Is this normal Just wondering:confused: My lily has her fair share of odd habits but this one intrigues me, when she eats she takes the food out of the bowl puts it in the floor one piece at a time and then eats it. At first I thought it was weird but recently she sits at the bowl and wines she will not eat unless I take the food out and put it on the floor. Is she just training me or could their be an issue.:scratches |
She's just training you ;) |
martini does that once in awhile when she really isnt hungry she takes her food and hides it she starts scratching like shes digging and hides it so no1 can take it from her. yet shes the only dog in the house lol go figure |
:wink: hi hi hi .... how cute ! |
See is training you...not sure if you want her to get that fincky so be careful.>>These stinkers can really work us over. |
Lucy does this. I refuse to pull it out on to the floor so she has trained the cat to do it for her...He pulls it out of the bowl and she eats it :rolleyes: |

I have one that paws at the plate and scrapes the food on the floor and then eats it. Some of mine will actually take a mouthful of food from the kitchen and bring it to the couch in the living room to eat it. Strange babies. |

My yorkies do that also |
LOL. I think it's just a Yorkie thing.:) |
Alphy will run grab a bit run to the living room eat it run back get a bit and back to the living room. Sometimes he'll just stand there, but his food usually has to be somewhere in the vicinity that I am in. My Max used to bring his food out one bit at a time set it on the floor and then eat it. It's funny. |
When Jamie was eating kibble he would put his paw in the bowl and knock the kibble out on the floor and eat it. Well I switched him to raw yesterday and when it was in the bowl, he wouldn't eat because he wasn't going to rake it out with his paw. So I took it and put it on a plate on the floor and he gobble it up. He's not trying to work me because he would get the kibble out himself and I'm figuring if it wasn't wet and cold he would get the raw out of the bowl too. Maybe his bowl is too deep or maybe he doesn't like getting his nose it... who knows? LOL! |
I am happy to know she is not the only one with weird quarks, I am definitely going to quit taking it out of the bowl for her. |
they are such funny lil' guys, aren't they?! ours have to go into the kitchen, grab a mouthful, then eat it on our bed :p gotta love that they wanna be with you all the time ;) |
Its not just a Yorkie thing... Both Bella (poodle mix) and Harley (Yorkie) do it! Bella takes a mouth full and runs into my mom's bed to eat. Whats so funny is that when my sister and I were younger, we used to sneak snacks into my mom's bed and watch tv. She was ALWAYS yelling at us not to eat her bed... and now she has to battle the dog!! lol |
Toby does this. He will take out a little bit at a time out of the bowl and put it on the floor, eat it and then do it again till his food is gone. He also will balance on three legs while eating...its so odd. He will left one leg up while eating, always a different leg too. Only once in a while though he will only eat if I hand feed him out of the bowl, however, this only happens once in a while. And I will only give in if he hasn't eaten all day. I put out his breakfast and lunch some days and he won't eat because he's too busy playing or doesn't feel like it, then for dinner if he doesn't eat on his own, I will hand feed him. |
I have a Bichon that carries his kibble into the living room from the kitchen one mouthful at a time, drops it on the carpet and eats it one kibble at a time. I've had several dogs that would do that. It's just a doggie thing! |
Hi Myabe they are just trying to tell us they would like a placemat. Like the couch or a chair. lol Janice |
So Cute!!! |
Ah, Parker does this too, silly boy!!! |

If your dog's bowls are metal or are within a metal bowl holding frame, they may be getting shocked from static electricity. Just something to consider. |
Lucky and Lexie at times will take the mouthfull of food from their dish and carry it somewhere else to eat it. They do it for a mouthful or two, then finish at the dish. But....is this normal?........... When Lexie had her puppies, I fed her a mixture of dry and canned food or alternated between the two types. I noticed during this time that every now and then she would use her nose and push at the food until is was mostly all in one spot in the dish and pretty much pressed against the side or bottom of the bowl, then she'd usually leave it for a while. To me,this looked like it made it more difficult for her to get a good bite of, so I'd usually stir it up again to loosen it up. For the life of me, I could not figure out WHY she did that. She never did it til after she had her puppies and except for once or twice, I haven't seen her do it again since she finished nursing them. So, hmmmm.....is this normal, or a weird quirk of hers? |
I had a Yorkie who would fill up his mouth with food, take it to a soft rug, dump it out of his mouth, and eat it one morsel at a tome:animal-pa |
cute stories |
From what i've read it is instinctive for them to do this. They are bringing there food away to "hide" and eat it so that it doesn't get taken away. The way they would if they were living in a pack |
If Preston is eating by himself he will knock the bowl over, and actually sometimes just pick it up in his mouth and dump it, and eat from the floor. If Bailey and Jefe are eating in the same room, he leaves his food in his bowl. I assume it is because by himself he feels he can scatter it out and be more selective about which pieces he eats, while with the other two there, he is afraid they will take it? |
Sounds like training the humans again to do what they want us to.....ha ha |
