| Lots of scratching, a quirky eating habit? I've tried searching for this and have found other strange eating habits, but haven't come across this one. Cooper scratches the carpet before eating, sometimes so hard that fibers go flying! Luckily we have an area rug there now so he doesn't ruin our new carpet. Does any body else's Yorkie do this?

| Both my dogs will "dig" in the carpet and blankets (mainly Bandit) but it's never just before eating. Sometimes it looks like their trying to bury something. |

| Oh yes, Cooper does the "bury" thing with his treats, but that is just with his nose. This is different. He almost seems mad that his food is in the bowl or something. I thought by getting him new bowls would work, but no difference.

| My maltese does something different..he taps on his stainless bowls when he needs water or wants fooed. BUT he also does it violently when his bowl is filled with food before he eats. It is just one of his cute little quirks that makes me love him even more! |
