My tissue shredder is now eating it...is she missing something? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

She usually does it when me and my dd are just busy at home. Rarely I'll come home to it shredded. I think it's mostly to get my attention-when I catch her I give the 'disappointed voice' & usually have to trade it off with a toy, playing or even a treat. I'm sure I'm giving her the wrong idea but with her stomach issues I don't want her eating anything I don't offer.

She's been getting a little canned food morning & night & she does have some kibble out all day. She really doesn't chew much, I guess just q-tips, cotton balls if she finds them.

Gracie is tissue-obsessed too. She doesn't even have to see it. If I have my bathrobe on and she's sitting with me, she'll dig her nose in my pocket looking for kleenex. The first time she did it, I thought she was just trying to cuddle closer, but no-o-o, she was looking for kleenex. Hard to scold her when I was laughing!
