| Will she grow out of this? Hey YT buddies! I was wondering...my little 'horror' Pixie is 9 months old and is still eating everything in the garden..I have picked all the daffodils (have them in a nice vase in the house now!) we have trees at the bottom of our garden so leaves and twigs are aways falling...Pixie loves to chew on the twigs! she sits there with it between her paws chewing away like its a chew stick! everytime i let her outside she's chewing away on something! I have tried distractions like dog chews etc but once they are finished she's right back to chewing at something else! she also digs in the dirt alot..she ends up with a face full of it, in her mouth and stuck in her teeth! aaarrrggghhh! I really hope she grows out of it sometime soon!

| Same Problem Hi I have the same problem with my two. A twig to them is a gourmet meal. I mean, they love them. Tootsie is two, and Teddy is one, and they still like nothing better than to try to bring one into the house. I can't figure out what the attraction is. They also like to dig in the dirt, in fact they dug holes under the fence, and managed to get out on me. I think this is something they are going to try to do for a long time. Janice |

| Oh well...looks like something i'm going to have to put up with for a while then! I have even caught her crunching away on stones! & snails! (little ones!) anything she can find really! I get so worried she will eat something harmful when i'm not looking! I scour the garden daily and try to get rid of anything i don't want her to get hold of but its an almost impossible task sometimes...she will be waiting by the door to go out so i'm thinking..ok, she needs to toilet...but as soon as i let her out she picks something up and starts chewing on it! now the weather has improved i don't want to keep her shut in all the time..

| Emmy likes clovers and grass, Mozart will just eat grass Both of mine graze. Emmy likes clover and grass, but Mozart will just eat grass. It worries me because when you take them for walks, you never know what people spray in their lawns. Any thoughts? |

| Lucy is almost a year old and still is fascinated with twigs and things. I just keep a close watch on her.

| She Is Just Being A Yorkie !!!!!!!!!!! Harvey Does The Same Thing, He Can Be Playing With His Toys And If He Runs Past A Pot With A Plant In He Cant Resist Tugging At It While He Is Passing, And Another Thing He Does Is Jump Up Into The Pots And Diggs Out The Soil - When I Shout At Him To Stop He Runs Off Thinking Big Game With Mummy...... Fun Fun Fun.

| That's so funny! My little guy loves the yard too! He goes straight for the wild mint and chews away, getting into whatever else he can before he gets yelled at. He's a brat. Now he taught the little one to do the same, but she just rips it off the plant and then spits it out. I got nervous when I saw them going after the rose bushes, but thankfully that obsession ended when the vegetable garden started to come in. This see what happens this summer Don't you just LOVE YORKIES!!?? |
