Does your yorkie do the same? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Potter · 04-13-2007, 07:06 AM

I am just wondering if anyone else's Yorkies have the same attitude. When I am preparing Siu Pao's food, however hungry he is, he sits at the furthest corner of the house. Then when I am done, he wouldn't come near even when I call him to come eat. Eventually he will walk over slowly to his food bowl but he wouldn't come if I am there. I feel as if he is scared that I will force him to eat lol but I really think he thinks that way

I got him when he was a puppy and we never never abuse him so I wonder why he acts like that?

Piper is like that to, unless I put it right on the floor. I think she's afraid of the noise the bowl or plate makes going on the floor.

His bowl has rubber base and I put it on the carpet so there is no noise when I put his bowl down...wish I could get in to his head to know what he is thinking

My daughter's MinPin runs and hides when he knows it's time to be feed!
When the bowl is put on the floor he comes charging from where ever
he is and eats

We think he just wants to be surprised.

Buddy sits by me and sits up with his two paws flapping a mile a mile
wanting to be fed a sample. If I do not oblige he walks over and slaps
the stove

Who knows what goes through their minds but they keep us laughing don't they?

I have the opposite problem ....it doesnt matter WHO'S food I'm getting ready.... I see this every day and LOL Buddy - he slaps the stove ?? hahahahha You tell that mommy what you're REALLY thinking little dude !!

lol!!!! I also have the opposite problem. Peanut runs full force into kitchen cabinets to get my attention no matter who's food I am preparing.

My mom and dad's dog will not eat at her bowl. She will take a bite, and then walk into the living room to chew it up, and then back to her bowl for another bite! She goes back and forth until she's done.

Who knows!

Betty is in the kitchen supervising and looking for any crumb that might fall on the floor. She eats like a vacuum cleaner. That baby LOVES her food!

LOL...Izzy does that with treats I put in his bowl. He goes from the kitchen to the dining room rug and wont chew until he sits down. Its the funniest thing ever.

angelee · 04-13-2007, 10:05 AM

Not my boy...he will jump up and down until I set his bowl on the floor.

Anna Banana · 04-13-2007, 10:10 AM

Aww, these are cute to read! Someone should start a thread on yorkie eating habits.

Kbsqueff · 04-13-2007, 10:11 AM

I'm also w/ the opposite problem... My girls can even SEE me heading to the kitchen that they go nuts thinking it's snack time...
