| Your lucky he's eating. If he wants more, he'll eat until he's full. Max didn't eat that much until this last week. He's finally gaining. He eats & when he is full, he goes & plays. He's 14 weeks now.

| When our Toto was small, we fed her tiny little meals 3-4 times a day [just a couple of teaspoons] and left kibble for her all the time. Most days, she hardly ate any of the kibble, but it was there if she wanted it. Their little stomachs are soooo tiny that it doesn't take much, but when they are young, they need lots more calories because they are non-stop energy!! Toto would play so hard, she would suddenly just curl up where she was and fall asleep. We found her in some of the oddest places! Always make sure there is plenty of fresh, clean water available. Toto drinks lots of water and I put a clean bowl down several times a day. She has always been extremely healthy! Good luck.

| The little ones really need to free feed. I still leave food out all the time for my 10 month old. I've never had an overweight Yorkie. |

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | If he won't drink water, put out a bowl of ice chips. Most puppies like that and it is soothing when they are teething. |

| Try getting a water bottle feeder. Maddie took right to it when she was little. Maybe it makes them still think they are nursing...not sure. |
