What is up with this???!!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Olivia has developed a strange little behavior and I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this with your yorkie. We usually eat our dinner in the living room. The past couple of days she goes crazy, sniff sniff sniffing around on the floor! It's just me and dh, so it's not like we're spilling food all over the floor or anything. We ate almost 2 hours ago, and she just now has quit the sniffing and has settled down. She is on raw diet and I tried giving her a raw lamb bone, thinking maybe she just wanted something to chew on - but she didn't want it. She just sniffs non-stop! Is this normal behavior?

Mine sniffs but only while we are cooking or eating. She does it too sometimes if Im just in the kitchen.

We never saw Hot Rod's face for the first 2 mos after we got him! He would walk around sniffiing all the time. It was amazing that he never konked his head on the legs of the coffee table!

It's funny with Maggie, she sniffs the air. It is hilarious watching her, her little nose goes a mile a minute and she sticks it way out ahead of her.

LOL I guess we have no idea what it's like to have such a keen sense of smell, it's like it drives her crazy - trying to find all the smells!
