Sasha is like Michi. She picks up everything she finds on the floor. And she LOVES to chew on the rugs/carpets! When we go outside she is constantly picking up bugs. Max is the opposite. He will sniff at something but rarely picks it up unless it is edible. Sasha has been like this since the day we picked her up so I am resigned to the fact that it won't change. We just have to keep a 3rd eye open with her.

I know what you mean. My floors have to be kept so clean or my boy vacs any bits up! If I drop something I have to be fast to get there before he does. He also is always hungry, but still goes for floor bits!
I think you are feeding enough and that this is just a Yorkie habit.
I too tried feeding more at one meal, but he threw up as he was overful. They don't seem to know when they have eaten enough.

Cali will be 2 next month and she is still like that. It's actually a really big problem for us because she is so intent on ingesting everything she can that she often gets sick. When she was 5 months old my husband dropped a pill and as he was trying to pick it up she swooped in and ate it. That was quite the hefty vet bill.

I would LOVE to be able to change that trait about her. Even though we are hyper vigilant about dropping things, we do have two (messy) young kids who are not and a lot of times Cali eats things she should not (or seeks them out herself, for example she once darted in a cabinet as it opened and ate a boullion cube) and ends up with a few days of throwing up + diarrhea. It's frustrating.

My problem is trash cans....ugghhh. One day I came home, she had turned over every trash cans. In addition to making sure there is nothing on the floor, I now have to make sure she can't get to the trash. I normally don't bring chocolate in the house but this one time I ate a snickers and threw the wrapper in the trash, sure enough she went after the wrapper. Thankfully there was no chocolate left.

These little guys are worse then kids. At least kids eventually grow up and move out (hopefully).
