No Longer a Member | Why do Yorkies have to sniff every blade of grass? Could someone tell me why do yorkies have to sniff every blade of grass when they go to potty? When I take Chloe out, she sniffs everything. I don't care if it's hot outside or cold outside or even raining. She has to sniff everything. She also walks back and forth and back and forth and if she doesn't like where she is, she walks on and starts it all over again. My mom's dog Maggie, goes out side and boom, she pees and that's it. No sniffing and no walking back and forth. Of course, Maggie is a Shih Tzu. Hee Hee |

| Twinkle's a serial sniffer! I have a sniffer too! And it isn't just grass - its leaves, twigs, bird poo, slugs.......For some reason everything seems to smell more interesting when its 11pm, freezing cold, and I want her to hurry up so I can go to bed xxx

| Oh yes, Wrigley smells, eats and plays with every single piece of grass, stick, bug and anything else he can find out there. I think he has learned that after he does what I want him to do we have to go back inside lol So he prolongs it. |

| My question is about eating. Do they have to eat everything the find on the ground? Stones, leaves, fallen fruits.. Sigh.

| I thought Gus was the only one. Gus eats everything he finds on the ground, and it's causing him issues with his health - worms, parasites, thirst, and frequent urination. The vet recommended putting something, like a muzzle, over his snout to keep him from eating things off the ground. |

| Both of mine are on a mission outside: Must sniff, must taste, must graze. So many blades of grass, not enough time to sniff, lol.

| Ohhh Baxter has added grasshoppers, crickets and acorns to that list. Then he plays toss the acorn around the yard (because I think it is so funny) and when I'm not looking he will start to eat the cap.. Double Sigh lol

| well if I had to poo outside and in public, i'd be mighty picky about where I left my poop. after all, i'd need to know where to back to in case i get hungry later. ok, gross, but you know a lot of pups like "seconds"

| You know what Maya does that I love??? She stands very still when the breeze blows and raises her head to greet it, and as it blows her little hair I can almost see her smile like "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh that feels good, I like that."
