running away with food during feeding Ok... When we feed Einstien recently, he seems to run away with a couple pieces of food in his mouth. We feed him in the kitchen and he takes a couple pieces and runs off to the living room to eat it. Finishes those couple pieces and comes back to do the same thing... I'm lost... |

If my are on the tile, they have to run to carpet to crunch away - it's so bizarre :p |

Mine does something like that When I serve his food he picks up a couple of bits and puts them on the floor. As soon as he finishes those he's doin it all over again.:animal36 |
OK, i switched his food back to the lil puppy bites. it seems that the food was too big, so he ran away with a piece in his mouth. Silly dog... AHHH the joys of fatherhood. |
Kibble too big! Good catch! Another thing: the breeder told me that my pup was the runt of the litter. The only way he could get anything to eat was to grab a mouthful and go some place else to eat it where he was undisturbed by his larger littermates. So that explained why (at first) he grabbed a mouthful to deposit on my family room floor to eat. In a few days, when he realized there was no competition, he only dropped it on the floor beside his bowl. Eventually, he learned that he could leave it in the bowl to eat :rolleyes: . |
Molly does something similar - she likes to take a piece of food and then throw it and then hunt it down. She will drop back on her haunches and then dive in for the "kill". It is so funny to watch. Sometimes she'll throw it outside of her xpen and then have to lay there reaching through the bars for that one piece even though there is still a whole bowl there to eat. Silly girl!!! |
They're Sophisticated These furbabies are utterly sophisticated. They like to eat on a tablecloth! Johnny does that with his treats but when his head goes into his food bowl, it doesn't come out until there's no more food. What a change from his first months with us. He was a grazer not a gobbler. He also likes to sit when he eats. I've seen big dogs lay down to be closer to the bowl and I've seen those stands to raise the bowls but there's not that much distance between a Yorkie's head and the floor. :aimeeyork |
Madeleine does the same thing! This whole time I thought it was just a Maddie thing, I didn't realize it's a Yorkie thing! :rolleyes: |
Layla does it too.. she HAS to eat on carpet and NEVER over her bowl :rolleyes: |
Zoie is 8 mos old and she likes to eat out of our 80lb dogs bowl then run over eat a bite out of hers and then back in his. She saves most of hers till his is gone. Then he sits by me till she gets done and then he eats what she leaves behind. Its the darnest thing you ever seen. But he is nice and lets her eat out of his bowl and then run with what she got. |
