Bella‘s food dish is on the kitchen floor. 
She loves to take a piece of dog food in her mouth, carry it over to the carpeted area, and eat there. Its so funny! She is fickle enough with what she will eat, much less how she eats it.
The best part is that Bella has done this since she was a baby. Thanks to my husband, Bart, we have a video of Bella doing this! Bella even brings treats over to the carpet. In this video Bella’s bowl is near the carpet, although the bowl is usually on the other side of the kitchen and Bella still brings her food to the carpet!
Why? Who knows. But it must be fairly important to Bella. Because without fail, at every turn, this yorkie will bring her food away from the bowl to eat. She does occasionally just eat at the bowl too, but I doubt she will ever consistently stop this behavior.
Bart and I have thought of various possible reasons for Bella’s behavior. Maybe she wants to eat in peace? Well, that would make sense now that Bubby is around, and he often hogs the food (even though he remains very skinny.) But that wouldn’t explain why Bella did this when she was a puppy. This video is of Bella after we had her for maybe one month.
Does your yorkie dog have strange eating habits?

my yorkie loves to knock things out of his bowl, pounce on it and then puts it in his mouth and run away to eat it lol

That’s too funny! I think yorkies must have a thing for silly eating habits.

We have a Yorkie we just rescued and he wipes his face on the floor prior to and after eating, we also have a Maltase and a Beas ion that takes their food to the carpet to eat I can’t tell you how funny the Yorkie looks

Our Yorkie sometimes tries to push a rug or other object over her food with her nose prior to eating it. Is this normal, if so, why is she doing it.
