| Does your fur baby do this... Ok so I keep Riley's food and water bowl on a mat on my kitchen floor which is tile. This little guy will take a few pieces of food in his mouth and walk over to the carpet and eat the few pieces on the carpet and he will repeat this process. I thought it was my home at first until I took him to my parents' place and he did the same thing there. Does your fur baby do this? |

| Yes.. Peanut does that too!! He use to take a piece and place it somewhere in the middle of the floor- not eat it and then DH and I would step on it LOL. That was always fun. Now he will just take a piece and drop it right next to his bowl and then eat it.. Crazy babies!!

| My teapot Minnie used to do that too. We tried so many different types of bowls, but she still liked picking the food up out of the bowl a few kibbles at a time, walking a few steps to the carpet, dropping them, and eating off the rug too.

| My Molly does this too! I think they are just quirky playful babies even when it comes to eating. Sometimes Molly will take a piece of kibble and throw it up in the air and watch it land on the floor. She will do this repeatedly and chase it for while before she finally eats it. It's the cutest thing. |

| All three of mine eat that way. My Lab did it before we got the Yorkies. I never figured out why. I guess I just figured it was a dog thing.

| Billi does that to her bowls in my office, but not our bedroom. I never thought of it before, but my office is hard wood, our bedroom is carpet.. I think pstinard is on to something!

| Amy does the same thing. Will take a couple of pieces and go eat on the carpet and return for a couple more. Some times she will stand in front of you and eat them so you can see her chew. It is comical the way they do this. |

| mine do this too! Chibi likes to get a piece of kibble in his mouth and jump on my lap and crunch it right in front of me- done this since he was a baby and it still cracks me up. Molli will sometimes take a piece of kibble and play with it, batting it around like she were a cat with a ball of yarn. Yorkies do the weirdest things

| I've heard about a lot of dogs that do this. My two don't, but I think it has something to do with the fact that they are worried about the other eating their food.
