| Is your yorkie a pig or a finicky eater? Charlie is definitely a pig. It's funny when he knows he's going to get a treat or even just lunch he starts licking his chomps and and stares big eyed like nothing else in the world matters. It's so funny! And he's not super picky either. He'll pretty much eat whatever I give him, for the most part. I know many are finicky... Sooo. Is your baby a pig or pickey. LOL |

| Oh, that sounds so cute! Tibbe is a pig, too. He has demand feeding but sometimes wants me to fix his special food, comes and stands in front of me growling until I ask him if he wants "special food", which means I pour very hot water over his kibble, soak it, whip it with a fork until the smell permeates the house, cool it and put it down for Tibbe. He waits until it is just-right cool and digs in. Then it is time for a treat because he ate dinner! Comes & demands his treat, which I get up & get and then he comes, his blood surger & energy surging, with his dogfood breath and wet mustaches, and kisses me all over my face, wallows all over the couch and kisses me some more. Then, depending upon his mood, he either wants to play really hard with his toys or take a long nap. But he never misses a meal if he can help it and readily eats what's before him with gusto. So I have a little pig, right down to the wallowing.

| Tatiana is both. As far as being picky, she only eats home-cooking (she loves Mommy's cooking ). As far as being a pig, she's an excellent eater. She licks the plate clean. |

| Jada is a pig....a big pig. She would eat until her stomach burst, no doubt about it. She sits by the fridge about 90% of each evening demanding her frozen green beans. Bogie isn't picky, but he eats his food and doesn't try to get more. Jada finishes her meals first and I have to stand watch or she will get into Bogie's bowl.

| My mylee is all pig. She enhales her food/treats. She's so bad, I worry about her choking because she literally enhales it. I have to feed her little bits at a time. Moka is not picky at all, begs for her food/treats, but she savors every flavor and chews every piece. LOL She eats like a lady.

| Mandie is definitely a piggie when it comes to eating...except HER food. LOL She will eat some pieces (I free feed) and then take some out by her blanket and "squirrel" those away for later. Then, later, she'll go back and eat a little more. But if it's cheese or carrot sticks or anything me or my hubby have...her attitude is "more, more, MORE!" lol

| I remember Benjamin was so picky and hardly wanted to eat. Three kibbles and he was done with his meal. LOL Charlie is so funny. Sometimes I have people watch how he'll start licking his chomps waiting when he knows he going to eat. It cracks me up everytime. I'll have to get a video of it. |

| My two are pigs when it comes to their meals, but when it's new treats they are trying... They are picky.

YT Addict | Rylee Belle is definitely or a least bordering on "Pig". She really enjoys her food. She eats mostly kibble (grain free) but gets the occasional treat of some boiled chicken. When I start boiling the chicken, she knows exactly what I am doing and a swear she barks until it it cooked She HAS to have her snack before she goes to bed.............so as soon as I say "okay, lets go to bed" she runs to her dish to get her snack. I love my little "piggy"!!!!

| Lexie is very picky! Took forever to find food that not only she liked, but agreed with her tender tummy. i sure don't have to worry about her gaining weight. She only eats as much as she's hungry for and leaves the rest. Guess i'd rather have a pig (?) It's easier for sure!

| Ella is a picky baby! She turns her nose to a lot of food and treats. Sometimes its even things she normally likes, but she will never deny chicken. |

| Belle eats her 1/4 cup dry kibble in two seconds flat and then looks around for more. She thinks I should share everything that I eat with her, as well. If I let her eat everything she wanted to eat, she'd be HUGE. She's definitely a little piggy.
